Pisombo, Pisombo! the waters, to-night, So tranquilly sleep in the moon's soft light! Pisombo, Pisombo! no longer the gale Comes rudely to swell out our flapping sail. Pisombo, Pisombo! from each manly oar Now dash the white foam, that Ragusa's shore Pisombo, Pisombo! ere the night be past, In safety may welcome our lonely mast.
