Rezia: Ocean! thou mighty monster,That liest curld Like a green monster round about the world!To musing eye thou art an awful sight,When calmly sleeping in the morning light;But when thou risest in thy wrath, as now,And flingst thy folds around some fated prow,Crushing the strong ribbd bark as twere a shell,Then, Ocean, thy powr is fierce and fell!Still I see thy billows flashing,Through the gloom their white foam flinging,And the breakers sullen dashingjorgo as rezia In mine ear hopes knell is ringing!
