THE LOST AND THE WEPT.
~ THOMAS c. sPEAB.

Within her bright and peaceful home,
The mother bless'd her hayward boy,
We'd to the blue seas waves and foam,
Iw wild delights and rough employ
HeI fearful thanks she give to heav'n,
For perils met and safely pass'd,
And saw her son in manhood given,
To honor and command at last,
swih'o'er the harbor's CLASSY face
Hn speeding barque the pillows flung,
And bore her wings with airy grace,
A. every spar elastic sprung:
The city melted far behind,
And deep the channel slretch'd before,
A. forward, with the strength 'ning wind,
Her Prov was urged beyond the shore.
From wave to wave she sped her keel,
Midst the green islels OF the sea,
Obedient to the helmsman's wheel,
Yet on the pillows seeming free:
And with the winds, against the tide,
She quickly found her destin'd bay,
And swept the Heaven broad and wide,
With pennons streaming wild and gay.
From ship to ship the loud salute
Wash heard from many an ANCHORED crew,
Till all again was lull'd and mute,
And darkness round theirhammock, drew.
The days their toll, and pleasures brought.
With swelling tide and waiting gale,
Till from the mast, with venture fraug ht,
The seaman loos'd her homeward sail.
Bat ere The light-wiug'd breeze could bend
Her canvas on the rolling deep.
His course again TO land must tend
To land the pilots barge must sweep.
The skies had lost their golden hue,
The dancing waves were leapinr free,
And soon his ship was lost TO view.
Far down the bays receding lea.
The tempest roll'd above the stream
The winds were whistling wild aud .h1ll-
10 darkness rose the startling Scream
II eeased--and all again was .till.
The lighthouse gleem'd along the shore
Upon the waves the pale moon shone,
While down the rivers oozy floor,
He sleps his death. sleep, cold and alone,
His ship unmoor'd was on the main,
And slowly plough'd the pillows blue,
While deeply touch'd with manly pnin,
In silence droop'd bis mourning crew.
The Sails but seem'd a. shroudiug spread
In sorrow DER the marching wave,
Bs.ond the land where found the dead
A barron, bleak, and bloomless grave.
At noontide, sad, bereav'd and pale,
The mother heard the tale ofglocm,
And pour'd her souls despairing wall
Far DER the waters TO his tomb.
At midnight, while HE sisters slept.
They dream'd they heard his drowning cry
And saw the sands on which he slep.
With angry billows roaring by.
