Off Cape Colonna

Aloof they crown the foreland lone,
    From aloft they loftier rise—
Fair columns, in the aureole rolled
    From sunned Greek seas and skies.
They wax, sublimed to fancy’s view,
A god-like group against the blue.

Over much like gods! Serene they saw
    The wolf-waves board the deck,
And headlong hull of Falconer,
    And many a deadlier wreck.
