Oh thou of dark forebodings drear,Oh thou of such a faithless heart,Hast thou forgotten what thou art,That thou hast ventured so to fear?II.No weed on Ocean’s bosom cast,Borne by its never-resting foamThis way and that, without an home,Till flung on some bleak shore at last—III.But thou the Lotus, which aboveSwayed here and there by wind and tide,Yet still below doth fixed abideFast rooted in the eternal Love.

Borne by its never-resting foam
This way and that, without an home,
Till flung on some bleak shore at last—

But thou the Lotus, which above
Swayed here and there by wind and tide,
Yet still below doth fixed abide
Fast rooted in the eternal Love.
