Sitting lonely 'nesth the willows,
Gazing outupOn the biIlOws,
Tineed with amber sunsets streaming,
Through the purple clouds, now rivens
Forming angel paths to Heaven,
Is little maiden, dreaming.
Meekest eyes Of tenderest szureI
Cupid turks, with bow and quiver,
Meath the fringes, never missing.
Round bosom, soft and fair,
Lustrous hangs the curling hair
In golden glory. eIinging, kissing,
On her hands, together press'd,
Gently folded on her breast,
Soffest Tose-bloom, blushing, lies.
Fancy wings her 'mong clouds, golden
With rarest eoiors, wAYwArd, holden
By the pillars Of the skies.
Waiting long, with heart all drea-y
With yearning eyes. wet, worn and weary,
Watching, watching all in vain,
For the pennant gaily streaming,
Watching for the white sails cleaning,
Which will bring him back again.
Gazing out on Autumn's ocean,
DimPlIng into laughing motion,
Bathed in golden colors, warm.
Who shall tell ber Of the dsshing.
OF the wild waves awful crashing.
os the ieeberg's fearful form?
Who shall tell her that the devils,
In their midnight, ghastly reveIs,
Wheeling clouds AID thunders round them
With leering, lurid eyes, that mock,
'Gainst the white and jagged rock
Hurled the stsgg' ring ship that bound him!
Who shall tell her that the dashes
OF the oceans solemn crashes,
Pulsing slow, with sullen roar,
Are his requiem now beating,
Are funeral march repeating
ona wild-Gn ice-ribbed shore2
Who shall tel her that the cleaning,
Through the crimson curtains streaming,
Down upon her from the skies;
Bathing ocean, earth and air,
In soft amethyst SO fair,
Ia the Light Of his dear eyes,?
Yet, aWhile, little longer,
When her hold on Heaven is stronger,
And one less on earth Is given,
When the daisies deck the heather,
viii they, hsnd-in. hand together,
Tread the pathway into Heaven.
