      "Sonnet Suppos'd to be Written at Lemnos

On this lone Isle, whose rugged rocks affright
   The cautious pilot, ten revolving years
   Great Paean's Son, unwonted erst to tears,
   Wept o'er his wound: alike each rolling light
Of heaven he watch'd, and blam'd its lingering flight,
   By day the sea-mew screaming round his cave
   Drove slumber from his eyes, the chiding wave
   And savage howlings chas'd his dreams by night.
Hope still was his: in each low breeze, that sigh'd
   Thro' his rude grot, he heard a coming oar,
   In each white cloud a coming sail he spied;
Nor seldom listen'd to the fancied roar
   Of Oeta's torrents, or the hoarser tide
   That parts fam'd Trachis from th' Euboic shore."

--Thomas Russell
