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