As the sea, whose cadence
Haunts the world for ever."

When I have departed,
Say but this behind me,
"Love was all her wisdom,
All her care.

"Well she kept love's secret,-- 5
Dared and never faltered,--
Laughed and never doubted
Love would win.

"Let the world's rough triumph
Trample by above her, 10
She is safe forever
From all harm.

"In a land that knows not
Bitterness nor sorrow,
She has found out all 15
Of truth at last."
