All Night-Long.
All night-long I heard the blast,
And the sea-birds as they pass'd
With a yell up from the granite-guarded shore,
And the waves the fierce winds lash'd,
As against the rocks they dash'd,
And whose roar the caverns answer'd with a roar!
And the sea-birds as they pass'd
With a yell up from the granite-guarded shore,
And the waves the fierce winds lash'd,
As against the rocks they dash'd,
And whose roar the caverns answer'd with a roar!
Long years since then have flown,
But the bitter blast then blown,
And that roar upon the shore, and that wild yell
Yet re-echo in my brain,
And I sigh and sigh in vain
For the hopes to which their mad song proved a knell!
But the bitter blast then blown,
And that roar upon the shore, and that wild yell
Yet re-echo in my brain,
And I sigh and sigh in vain
For the hopes to which their mad song proved a knell!
