I saw a wreck upon the ocean flood.

How sad and desolate ! No man was there; No living thing was on it. There it stood.

Its sails all gone; its masts were standing bare ; Tossed in the wide, the boundless, howling sea.

The very sea birds screamed, and passed it by.

And as I looked, the ocean seemed to be A sign and figure of eternity.
