Page 248 - Ah ! little thought the skipper then 'twould meet his eye no more : He dreamt not that an awful doom was hanging o'er his ship, That Vanderdecken's name would yet make pale the speaker's lip. The vessel bounded on her way, and spire and dome went down, — Ere darkness fell, beneath the wave had sunk the distant town. No more, no more, ye hapless crew, shall Holland meet your eye.
