“ Came over, Sina, at the setting moon!
II.
The moon shines round and bright;
She, with her dark-eyed maidens at her side,
Watches the rising tide,
While balmy breathes the starry southern night,
While languid heaves the lazy southern tide;
The rising tide, O Sina, and the setting moon
III.
The night is past, is past and gone,
The moon sinks to the west,
The sea-heart beats opprest,
And Sina's passionate breast
Heaves like the sea, when the pale moon has gone,
Heaves like the passionate sea, Sina, left by the moon alone! ”
