WHEN THE TIDE GOES OUT"

through the weary day, on his couch he lay,
with the life-tide ebbing slowly away +;
lad the dew on his cold brow gathering fast,
As the pendulum-numbered moments passed.
And heard a sad voice, wbispcriug, say,
" When the tide goes out, he will pass away,
Pray fora souls serene release
That the weary spirit may rest in peace,
When the tide goes out"
When the tide goes out from the sea-girt lands,
i bears strange freight from the cleaning sands
The white winged ships, that long may wait
For the toaming wave, and wind that's late;
The treasures cast on . rocky shore,
From the stranded ships that shall sail no more,
And hopes that follow the shining seas,
0 the ocean wide shall win all these,
When the tide goes out.
But Of all that drift from the shore to the sea,
Is the human soul to Eternity;
Floating away from a silent shore,
Like fated ship to return no more.
Sside-t-most solemn Of ala soul
PalsnC where unknown waters roll.
Where shall the surging current tend,
Elowly dividing friend from friend,
When the tide goes out?
For our parting spirit, o pray,
While the tide Of life is ebbing away,
That the soul may pass DER SUMMER seas
Than clasped of Cd the Hesperides.
A bark whose sails, by angel hands,
Shall be furlcd on a strand of golden sands;
And the friends that stand on a silent shore,
knowing that we shall return no more,
Shall wish US joy of a voyage fair,
With calm sweet skies, and favoring air,
When the tide goes out.

For them. hope conquers everywhere.

To fold the garments on the breast,
