When the reaper's task was ended, and the summe

Dropping down the river harbor in the shalIol

Pleasantly lay the clearings in the mellow sunlmc

And the newly planted orchards dropping thei

And the homcsteads like brown islands amidst a

And far and low, the thunder Of tempest prophc

Blotted out was all the coast-lne, gonc were rock

qrimly anxious stood the hcmsman with the tillcr
in his hand,
And questioned of the darkness what wa. sea and
what was land.
And the preacher heard his dear ones, nestled
round him, weeping sore
Never heed my little children Chris. is walk

To the pleasant land of Heaven, where the sea

All at once the great clond parted, like a curtain

To let down the torch of lightning on tho terror

And the thunder AMI tho w,,irlwinI tosctl or

There was waling in the .hallop, womans wall

And throu sh it all the murmur of Father Avery's
