Poem by George Darley

Lenimina Laborum. 55. Deep in the ocean's thundering wave

Deep in the ocean's thundering wave
O that I sank into my grave!
Where my knell shall be
The groans of the sea
Tolling within some hollow cave.

O that I lay in my narrow bed
With the ocean weeds to pillow my head,
Its foam for my shroud,
While its lullaby loud
Deepened the sleep of the happy dead!
