Break, break, break,
On thy cold gray stones, ______ Sea!
And I would that my tongue could utter
The thoughts that arise in me.
O, well for ______ fisherman's boy,
That he shouts with his sister ______ play!
O, well for the sailor lad,
That ______ sings in his boat on the bay!
And the ______ ships go on
To their haven under the hill;
But O for the touch of a vanish'd hand,
And the sound of a voice that is still!
Break, break, break
At the foot of thy crags, ______ Sea!
But the tender grace of a day that ______ dead
Will never come back to me.
