THE SEA-B0Y'S FAREWELL.

Wait, wait, ye winds till 1 repeat A parting signal to the fleet
 Whose station is at home Then wait the sea-hoy's simple prayer. And let it oft be whispered there,
 While in far clines 1 roam. Farewell 10 Father! reverend hulk, In spite of metal in spite of bulk,
 Soon may his cable slip But while the parting tear IS most, The flag of gratitude I'll hoist,
 In duty to the ship. Farewell to Mother! first class she! Who launched me on lifes stormy sea,
 And rlgged me fore and aft May providence her lmbers spare, And keep her hull in good repair,
 To tow the smaller craft. Farewell to sister! lovely yacht But whether she'll be 'manned' or not,
 cannot now foresee: May some good ship tender prove, Well found Tn stores of truth and love,
 And take her under lee. Farewell to George! the jolly boatl And all the little craft ahoat
 h home's delightful bay: When they arrive at sailing age, May wisdom give the weather guage,
 And guide them on their way. Far ewell to all on lifes rude mainl Perhaps we ner shall meet again,
 Through stress of stormy weather; But summ oned on the board above, We'll harbor in the port of love,
 And all be mored together!
