After the Storm.

Along the shore, along the shore,
While hushed is now the tempest's din,
Except the Sullen, muff1ed roar
OF breakers rolling slowly in,
A woman towards the sea-line dark
Turns, as she walks, her fearful eyes:
u see no sail, no boat, no bark
ALAS! alas!' she weeping cries.
Along the shore, along the shore,
The fishers wife still hurried on,
And scans the tawny ocean DER,
Still heaving, though the storm was gone
Last night the gale that fiercely blew
Loud sounded ainst the window pane
She could not weep-ah! well she knew
What angry bark was on the main.
Along the shore, along the shore,
Where rolls the tide with ceaseless din
The fishers wife shall see no more
The red-sailed lugger coming in.
Alas! where far the dark sea-line
The sky from ocean doth divide,
The bark lies swallowed by the brine,
A score of fathoms meath the tide.
Along the shore, along the shore,
Though dark her grief, the mourner hears
A voice that whispers "Weep no more,
For 1 will wipe away thy tears,
Vain is the tempest's wrath and vain
The billow's rage, by ruin fed;
The lost one I will bring again
The sea shall render up the dead!'
Along the shore, along the shore,
That skirts the everlasting main,
How oft we weep what never more
The waves of time bring back again!
And while years rolling boom the dirge
Of hopes long swallowed by the brine,
How oft Il fruitless search we urge,
And vanly scan the dark sea-line!
