XLIV + 

When will my hour of freedom come! + 

Time, I invoke thee! favouring gales + 

Awaiting on the shore I roam + 

And beckon to the passing sails. + 

Upon the highway of the sea + 

When shall I wing my passage free + 

On waves by tempests curdled o’er! + 

’Tis time to quit this weary shore + 

So uncongenial to my mind, + 

To dream upon the sunny strand + 

Of Africa, ancestral land, + 

Of dreary Russia left behind, + 

Wherein I felt love’s fatal dart, + 

Wherein I buried left my heart. + 
