Classic Poem

I think of thee when the moonbeams play
On the placid water's face
For thus thy blue eyes lustrous ray
Shone with resembling grace

I think of thee when the snowy swan
Glides calm[l]y down the stream
Its plumes the breezes scarcely fan
Awed by their radiant gleam

For thus I've seen the loud winds hush
To pass thy beauty by
With soft caress & playful rush
Mid thy bright tresses fly

And I have seen the wild birds sail
In rings thy head above
While thou hast stood like lily pale
Unknowing of their love

O for the day when once again
Mine eyes will gaze on thee!
But an ocean vast a sounding main
An ever howling sea
Roll us between with their billows green
High tost tempestuously.
