| | | CALM, azure, marble sea, | |
| As a fair palace pavement largely spread, | |
| Where the gray bastions of the eternal hills | |
| Lean over languidly, | |
| Bosomed with leafy trees, and garlanded! | 5 |
| |
| Peace is on all I view; | |
| Sunshine and peace; earth clear as heaven one hour; | |
| Save where the sailing cloud its dusky line | |
| Ruffles along the blue, | |
| Brushed by the soft wing of the silent shower. | 10 |
| |
| In no profounder calm | |
| Did the great Spirit over ocean brood, | |
| Ere the first hill his yet unclouded crest | |
| Reared, or the first fair palm | |
| Doubled her maiden beauty in the flood. * * * * * | 15 | | | |
