"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!"
- 'Childe Harold's Goodnight'' from
Childe Harold's Pilgrimage
Falmouth Harbour
"Tis done- and shivering in the gale
The bark unfurls her snowy sail ;
And whistling o'er the bended mast,
Loud sings on high the fresh'ning blast ;
And I must from this land be gone,
Because I cannot love but one."
- Stanzas to a Lady, On Leaving England, 1809
