“Aunt Fuller has taught me to play 'Bounding billows' and sing it.”

Fuller, Margaret. The Letters of Margaret Fuller. Edited by Robert N. Hudspeth. Vol. I. Ithaca: Cornell University Press, 1983.

Inferred Fuller names "“Bounding Billows”," a song she has learned to play and sing, written by Mrs. Robinson (almost certainly Mary Robinson, the English poet and actress also known as "Perdita") during a crossing from Dover to Calais.
