A swift ebb tide, on the eastern side, Sweeps in at the Point Del . , iar. For cycles old have the breakers hissed And swept their spray in a circling mist O er a crag that s christened The Lovers Tryst. A wild, bold run that the sea-folk shun, Crowned high by decaying walls. That, years ago, were a castle old, Where dwelt a m...aid with a heart of gold. Who lived, and died, for a brigand bold.
