THE MARINER'S SONG.

A wet skeet and a tow* sea,
A wind that follows fast.
And tins the white and rustling
And beads the gallant mast,
And bends the pliant mast, my boys!
While, like an eagle free.
Away the good skip flies, and leaves
Old England en the leo.
0 for a soft and gentle wind !
I beard a fair use cry ;
Bat give to me the roaring breeze,
And white waves heaving high ;
Awl white waves heaving high, my boys !
Tbe good ship tight and free ;
The world of waters is our home,
And merry men are we.
There's tempest in yon horned moon,
And lightning in yon cloud.
And, bark! the music, ntaiiners.
The wind is piping loud ;
The wind is piping loud, my boys !
•
The lightning lashes free,
While the hollow oak our palace is,
Oar heritage the sea. •
