The text reads

She will start from the slumber

When gusts shake the door;

She will hear the wind blowing,

Will hear the waves roar.

We shall see, while above us

The waves roar and whirl,

A ceiling of amber,

A pavement of pearl.

Singing: Here came a mortal,

But faithless was she!

And alone swell forever

The king of the sea.

Mathew Arnold 1882-1888
