Gen Fremont's March.

THE SEA.

By AUGUSTA MAINE.
I sat by the sea, the musical sea; -
The glorious day was dead,
The pale, cold moon looked down on me,
And the sky was bright o'erhead.
And I said, "Give back 0 sorrowful sea,
The dead who sleep in thy caves;
Thou hast stolen one who was dear to me,
Give him back, o restless waves!
ask no treasure, insatiate sea,
No treasure Of ruhies and gold;
Give back the treasure more precious to me,
The loved one thy pillows sntold.
sit and gaze, o changeful sea,
Til each wave that breaks on the shore
Seems bearing my loved one back to me.
But it dies, and he comes-no more,
O pity my sorrow. proud, naughty sea
Give back, ye ocean caves!'
But it said, THY loved one is lost to thee,
None ever come back from the waves.
He sleeps in a niche Of the beautiful sea,
With pearls and with diamonds inlaid;
The wave which is dashing its spray over thee,
just now with his dark ringlets Played"
Sc I cry no more to the mighty sea;
But oft, when its Wild pillows roar,
say Will he never come back to me?"
And the proud waves answer, ''No more"
