English poem
Lady Seton
by James Miller (1860–1947)
Nay, I will tarry till yon boat approaches The shore with tidings, which I long to hear, Yet dread their import; for methought I saw A gallant youth slip down between the ships! Oh, that the slumbering heavens would rise in wrath And rouse its eastern gales, until their navy Lay anchor’d on our rocks,—but not in safety.
