As sweeps the bark before the breeze,
While waters coIdly close around.
Till Of her pathway through tho seas
The track no more Is found
Thus passing down Oblivion's tide,
The bcau,eous visions OF the mind
fleet as that ocean psgeant glide,
And leave no trace behind
But the pure page NAV still imnaIt
Some dream OF feeling. else UNTOLD
The silent record of heart,
Fen wh-n that heart is cold:
Its Torn memorials here may bloom
Perohsnce To gentle bosons dear,
Like flowers that hnger Ger the tomb
BedcSed with Besuy's tear.
J ask no, foe the need OF fame,
The wreath sbovr my rest ~ twinc,--
Enough for me 20 leave INV name
Within this hallowed shrine
TO think tia, Ger these lines thine eye
Msy wander IN some future wear,
And memory breathe q passing sigh
For him Who traced them here.
Calm sleeps the see when storms are DER.
With bosom silent and serene,
And but the plank upon the shore
Reveals tina; wrecks have been.
