Oa iIUdsons noble wNlers

OF graceful mould and seeming strength,
To rule snd ac0Th The tides
And crowds her sides are climbing
Who could iaIycar b. luau

But few thst part from land 20 thee
Shall ever find u more.

For ia your bitier~st power q need

Comes death not near enough to thee
1ha, thou must seck HIM here
B,aye not the seas, Sc brothers
Can friendship lau.k the main
De your love Inks Of adsmani,
The wave shall snap tie chain.
Bright bud Of opening beauty
Sweet maid OF gentle heart
The pride,hs soace Of ali friends
Thou must not hence depart -
The sunkrn rock will bruisc thee,
The vintTy waters chill
Those hps vi quaN The hitter Brine
On siay 10 safety, Sill.

Aud wecdy earth alas too lew
Such Ajwets as thou, 10 spare
Ire sorrow night ran lower,
Young spuit thou shall ilee--
Bright, rudden-es tlu star Of eve
Drops, glittcting, in the sea
Ffa,l bark ,hou'rt doomed to curses
From many widowed heart,
When thy rent RIBS shall s,few the shore

Bri.ht snies, aud welcome sweet
But bark the winds are blowing
lhgH 4, npcsl uunp-aud high
The duvrn pillows hesyc, AMI foam,
And storm clouds scour the SKY
A gale a gale, young sea boat,
Would ny thee though of steel -
At every Zap Of saucy wave
She quiyers TO Tie keel
a leak God give them courage
THIS is 40 tune to shfnk;
Rouse every man-even Wonans hand
Must 81. sle, OF they sink
II 7,.r the gathering waters
.,H Aruugh her shattered frame
.4,lng wheels IRE mixed IN brine
q nched is her vital flame.
Nos aread all san good ssamen-
Bsck og the track we've drossed--
Las, bopc-and drive her on the beach -
Speed speed OF all Is lost.
Fast dying towards the hreake's,
Through darkness, eG.i and rain,
She PUSHES blisdiy on-- she strikes .-
Her back is broke in twain.
Down in The boiling waters,
With screams and strife, they slide
And, from the fragments where they cling,
Drop, aeatsn by the tide
Now comes the fnal struggle
The ycii, the gasp, the leap
Toe y eak, conyals.se, ciench the strong,
And drag them down the deep
Has, r.'lsd to reach thy haven.
5ueag maiden, honiewsrd bound
Al no yon starry shores can tell
Thy port-thy home s found
B'sisee, shiveung, on tie pebbles,
few are flung alive
And turn 10 hsrk, through winds and waves
II they alone survive.
Bot. mad tie roaring tempest,
NJ sounds upon them break,
save The deep gtoan u falling strength,
Add the sharp, gurgilng shrek
Howl howl ye s,raugIng bilows,
And cfaNn thai pIteous moan
fe nser, IA al your murderous course
A iouler deed have done.
