11O farewell my Frances, sweet Frances, adieu! O farewell, my Frances, sweet Frances, adieu!
22My heart's dearest hopes are all center'd in you; My heart's dearest hopes are all cent'red in you;
33On Penmaen's proud cliff will you watch for the gales On Penmaen's proud cliff will you watch for the gales
44That speed from the shores of high Arvon our sails? That speed from the shores of high Arvon our sails?
55
66When tempests in fury around me shall rave, On our dear native land when I breathe my last sighs,
77How oft will I think of that dark echoing cave, Once more to that cliff I will lift my sad eyes;
88Where trembling she shelter'd her delicate form, And though my fond sorrows are lost in the air,
99While the rocks all around us rebellow'd the storm. I'll teach my sick fancy to meet with thee there!

1111O when the pale moonbeam sleeps sweet on the wave, When tost on the ocean's rude billows I mourn,
1212Wilt thou wander alone by he sea-beaten cave; How often my heart to that glen will return,
1313And cherish a tender remembrance of me, Where Frances, in beauty and innocence drest,
1414Tho' doomed in long exile to languish for thee.First wak'd the soft anguish that swells in my breast.
15
16For thee shall my orisons rise in the dawn,
17On the clouds of the twilight thy form shall be drawn;
18And when the last sun-beam is quench'd in the sea,
19Still fancy shall dwell on an image of thee.
