sHfPwR ECKED SOUL.

On life's ocen wide and dreary,
Meath sky o'ercast and dark,
Sich at heart, and sorrow weary,
Still sail my shattered bark;
Ever with its changing fate,
Lonely, sad, and desolate.
Not ray from heaven to guide me
Der the wild and troubled wave,
Storms around, despair beside me,
Slowly drifting to the grave,
Doomed and damned, / weeping wait,
Lonely, sad, and desolate.
Vain my wailing, none are near me
t On this deep and dismal sea.
God Of mercy, hear, o hear me !
& And recall that dread decree:
Save me from the demons hate
Father of the desolate.
Hark! the billows family falling
On that bleak Forevermore,
And voice of woe appalling
Moans along the unseen shore,
Wretch, acoursed be thy fate,
Lonely, sad. and desolate.
Anguish bitter, never sleeping,
Rack thee with unceasing pain
Thou shalt wander; wailing, weeping
Sad and lonely on life's main,
And in that unchanging state
Be forever desolate.
