Rowena & HaroldA Romance in Rhyme of an Olden Time, of Hastyngs and Normanhurst
 Breathe fair, ye winds, breathe fair, And bear my true love home! Love's bonds shall hold him there, No more, no more to roam. God guide the helm, God fill the sails, And speed him home propitious gales! 

Breathe fair, ye winds, breathe fair,

And bear my true love home!

Love's bonds shall hold him there,

No more, no more to roam.

 She flies the holy cross That talisman divine Shall shield from loss and harm. Her faithful knight and mine. "O Christ, bid thou the storm to cease And fill our hearts with joy and peace!"

Shall shield from loss and harm.

Her faithful knight and mine.

To chase the gloomy hours with mirthful glee;
