THE OCEAN BURIAL.

80 bury me not in the deep, deep sea-
The words came low and mournfully,
From the pallid lips Of youth who icy
On his cabin couch at close ofday.
He had wasted and pined, till DER his brow
The death shade had slowly passed, and now,
When the land and his fond lov'd home were
nigh,
They had gathered around him to see him die,
"Oh bury me not in the deep, deep sea,
Weere the billowy shroud will roll over me,
Where no light will break thro' the dark cold
wave,
And no sun 0aa.i rest upon my grave.
lrmatters not, oft have been told,
Where the body shall be when the heart is cold,
Yet grant ye, o grant ye ;his boon to me,
O! bury me not in the deep, deep sea.
"For in fancy I've listened TO the well known
words,
The free, wild winds, and the song of birds;
| have thought Of home, and cot and bower,
And ofscenes that loved in childhood's hour
i had ever hoped to be laid when | died.
IN the churek-yard there, on the green hillside
by tie bones ofmy fathers, my grave should be,
. bury me not in the deep, deep sea.
"Let ms death slumbers be where mothers
prayer,
And a sisters tear shall be mingled there;
o. twill be sweet, ere the hearts throb IS DER,
TO know when its fountains shalt gush no more,
That those it so fondly hath yearned for will
come
To plant the firft wild flowers of spring on my
tomb
Let ice lie where those loved ones will weep
over me,
bury me not IN the deep, deep sea.
land there is another her tears would be shed,
For him who lay for in an ocean bed
III hours that it pains me to think Of now,
She hath twined these locks, and hath&klssed
this brow,
In the hair she hath wreathed shall the sea snake
hiss,
And tbe brow she hath pressed the cold waves
kiss;
For tie sake of that bright one that waiteth for
me,
0 bury ne not in the deep, deeps sea.
She hath been in my Dreams" his voice failed
there;
They gave no heed to his dying prayer;
They lowered him slow Oer the Ve'sepS Slae'
Above him was closed the dark cold tide
Where to dip their light wings the sea fowls
rest,
Where the blue waves dance Ger the oceans
crest;
Where the pillows bound. and the winds SPORT
free,
They have buried him there, in the deep, deep
