“I stand again on the familiar shore,

And hear the waves of the distracted sea

Piteously calling and lamenting thee,

And waiting restless at thy cottage door.

The rocks, the seaweed on the ocean floor,

The willows in the meadow, and the free

Wild winds of the Atlantic welcome me ;

Then why shouldst thou be dead, and come no more?”

- Longfellow
