displayed talent rarely found In Of his profession
while his powers will long be remembered
written several years since Of the
and his feelings and at this period applicable to his
| fate:-
| My life is like the scattered wreck,
Cast by the waves upon the shore
The broken masts, the rifted deck,
Tell Of the shpwreck that is DER:
Yet from these relics OF the storm,
The mariner hi, raft will form,
Again to tempt the fRithless
| But hope rebuilds no bark for me-
My life is like the blighted oak,
| That lifts its scar and withered form;
| Scath'd by the lightning's hidden stroke,
sternly to meet the coming storm
| Yet round that sspless trunk will Irvine,
| The curling tendrils Of the vine,
| And life and freshness there impart,
| Not to the passion bighted heart.
| My life Ia like a desert rock
In the mid ocean lone and drear
| Worn by the wild waves ceaseless shock,
That round its base their szrges rear
Yet, there the sea moss still will cling
Some flower will find cleft to spring,
| And breathe sen there a sweet perfume
| For me lifes flowers no more will bloom.
Peace to your Names Emmett ooe, thy cruise is
"Your flashes Of merriment that won't the
fight to another world Oh, may the great commander
at the final mastering day extend his mercy you,
proclaim, a thy sins are forgiven thee - '-'''
