Poem by Thomas Lovell Beddoes

Song on the Water

As mad sexton's bell, tolling
For earth's loveliest daughter
Night's dumbness breaks rolling
Ghostily:
So our boat breaks the water
Witchingly.

As her look the dream troubles
Of her tearful-eyed lover,
So our sails in the bubbles
Ghostily
Are mirrored, and hover
Moonily.

1. Song from Torrismond
2. Song of the Stygian Naiades
3. To Tartar, A Terrier Beauty
4. Yes, Mary Ann
5. The Rosy Hour
