Summary

Anonymous,  The Willow Tree (1816)

“ The clouds were rent asunder
⁠By lightning's vivid pow'rs.
⁠⁠The night both drear and dark,
⁠⁠Our poor devoted bark,
⁠⁠⁠Till next day,
⁠⁠⁠There she lay,
⁠⁠⁠⁠In the bay of Biscay O.
Now dash'd upon the billow,
⁠Our op'ning timbers creak;
Each fears a wat'ry pillow,
⁠None stop the dreadful leak.
”
