Some said he died,—but he was seen no more;—
He went to sea; yet there, amid the roar
Of the wild waters, starting from his sleep,
He gaz'd upon the lone tempestuous deep;
When, slowly rising from the vessel's lee,
A shape appeared, which none besides could see;
And then he shriek'd, like one whom Heav'n forsook,—
“Oh! shut the book, dear Ellen, shut the book!”
