On a lone, barren isle, where the wild, roaring billows

Assail the stern rock and the loud tempest raves,

The hero lies still where the dew drooping willows

Oh shade of the mighty, where now are the legions

Yet, spirit immortal, the tomb cannot bind thee.

No more on thy steed wilt thou sweep o'er the plain.

No sound can awake thee to glory again.
