THE LOST SHIP.

THE LOST SHIP.
l met him on The street, to-day.
The man, of whom I spoke as dead
And marvelled, as l saw him thread
With hssty step, the crowded way
No sea- weed on his auburn hair,
No drippings from All angry main!
But, as ofold, l heard again
His lightsone greeting on the air.
hsard-and yet it seemed to no
An echo from the oceans bed;
For l had deemed his spirit fed
Amid the wailings Of the sea.
Thy face. oh friend, hath banished fears
For tidings OF disaster came,
And on the drowned list, thy name
Seemed douoly drowned amid my tears!
Sad tidings Of a deep ssa.grave
For thee my friend, that told me, how
The morning glories Of thy brow
Were quenched beneath the envious waves
Oh Death. fierce jubilee was thine,
When, battling through the wotui pass,
The doomed ship, by Hatteras,
Rseled down amidst the seathlng brine;
When. BY the week.-mrs. shadow light,
With pallid brow and tireless eye.
The living drift was hurried by,
From darkness, into outer night
All night, the sable, dsath-wove pail
Was painted by the lightning's glsrei
All night the voices Of despair
We're answered by the ospray's call;
Were answered-'t till the shrouded morn
Looked lurid. through the eastern bars,
On floating mast and broker spsrs,
Tossed DER the lives, they lats bad borne
To watch and wait upon the shore,
And sea-ward gaze with swimming eyes,
Until, from out the darkllDg skies,
Pale shadows fall athwart the moor
To watch and wait-and doomed to hear,
Al bootless Eve and barren Morn,
The wild sea.breezes, inland borne,
As through an open sepulchre;-
To watch and wait, and vainly tell,
The hundr-d'h ''"".'h ir virtues Ger,
Who's. -. . h"at no more,
In depths. ., . ~rNi-
Shall be. III .ne.... Sc ...n; .ot
OF those WIZ - Eu= saciy drean;
And haply, through the lapses, seem
To greet a presence that is not.
Oh, ssdder than all saddsst things,
The woe that was-the woe that is.
And bitter be bis waking-his
To whom the morn no sOlace brings.
To him, who sits and waits in vain,
EIpectant of some absent friend
The lost, whose ringlets darkly blend
With oozy weeds, deep down the main!
For this, my friend, my joy shall be
Attsmpsred and to pity we'd
For others hopes are lying dead
Beneath the Sea! beneath the Sea.
