Lord Byron
Adieu! my native shore
Adieu, adieu! my native shore
Fades o'er the waters blue;
The night-winds sigh, the breakers roar
And shrieks the wild sea-mew
Yon sun that sets upon the sea
We follow in his flight;
Farewell awhile to him and thee
My native land, good night
With thee, my bark, I'll swiftly go
Athwart the foaming brine;
Nor care what land thou bear'st me to
So not again to mine
Welcome, welcome, ye blue waves
And when you fail my sight
Welcome, ye deserts, and ye caves
My native land, good night
