way, with not much, that We can see, which IS dan

following poem, on Robinson of Leyden:
He sleeps not here; in hope and prayer
His wandering flock had gone before,
But be. the shepherd, might not share
Their sorrows on the Wintry shore.
Before the Speedwells anchor swung,
Ere yet the Mayfowers sail was spread,
While round his feet the Pilgrims clung,
The pastor spake, and thus he said:-
"Men, brethren, sisters, children dear!
God calls yon hence from over sea;
Ye may not build by Hserlem Meer,
Nor yet along the ZuyderZee.
"Ye go to bear the saving word
To tribes unnamed and shores untrod:
Heed well the lessons ye have heard
From those old teachers taught Of God.
Yet think not unto them was lent
All light for all the coming days,
And Heavens eternal wisdom spent
In making straight the aneien. ways.
"The living fountain overfows
For every flock, for every lamb,
Nor heeds though angry creeds oppose
With Luthers dixie or Cslyins DAM
He spake; with lingering, long embrace,
With tears of love and partings fond,
They foated down the creeping Mas,
Along the isle Of Ysselmond.
They passed the frowning towers Of Briel,
Tie" Hook of Hollands shef OF sand,
And grated soon with lifting keel
The sulen shores of Fatherland.
No home for these too well they knew
The mitred king behind the throne;-
The sails were set, the pennOns flew,
and Westward no for worlds unknown.
And these were they who gave us birth,
The Pilgrims of the sunset wave,
Who won for us this virgin earth,
And freedom with the soil they gave.
The pastor sumbers by the Rhine
In alien earth the exiles ie,-
Their pameless graves our holiest shrine,
His words our noblest battle.cry
Still cry them. and the world shall hear,
Ye dweers by the storin-swept sea
Ye hdre not built by IIaerem Nicer,
Nor on the land.locked Zuyder-Lee'
