THE MEETING OF THE SHIPS.

words and looks of kndess and eioce together fo
a few sho moplnts and then days months, years in.
tervcne-and and know nothing of each 9th
er"-Ipashingion hving.
Two barks met on the deep mid sea-
When Gains had still'd the tide
A few bright days of Summer glee
There found them side by side
And voices fthe fair and brave
Rose mingling thence in mirth;
And swcety Haated or'er the wave
The melodies of earth.
Moonlight on that lone Indian main
Cioldiess and lovely slept
While dancing step and festive strain
Each deck in triumph swept.
And bands were link d, and answering eyes
With kind meaning shone:
oh brief and passing sympathies,
Like leaves together blown
A little while such Joy was est
Over the deep's repose,
Till the loud singing winds at last
Like trumpet music rose.
And proudly, freely, on their way
The parting vessels bore;
in calm storm, by rock or bay,
TO meet-Oh never mure
Never to blend in Vicory's cheer,
10 AID in hours OF wo 80.
And thus bright spirits minge here.
Such ties are formed below !
