BY JOHN q WHITTIER. -
What flecks tho outer gray beyond
- The sundowns golden trail
The white hasA ola ses-birfs wing,
Or CLEAN of slanting salt
Lot young eyes watch from Neck and Point.
And scs-worn elders pray
The ghost of what was once ship
Is sailing mp the bays
From gray sea-fog, from icy drift
From peril and from pain,
The home-bound isher groets thy lights,
o hundrod-harbored Name
But many keel shall seward turn.
And many a sail outstand,
Whom, tall and white. tho Dead Ship looms
Against tho dusk OF land.
She rounds the hcadlsnds brstlingpines,
Sho threads the isle-set bay;
No spur Of breeze can speed her on.
Nor Obj Of tide delay.
Old mon still walk tho Isle Of Orr
Who tell her date and name,
Old shipwnghts sit in Freeport yards
Who hewed her oaken frame.
What weary doom of baflcd quest,
Thou sad sea-shost Is thine'
What makes thoo IN tho haInts of homo
= A wonderland sign = 20.
No foot is on thy silent dock,
Upon thy helm no hand;
No ripple hath the soundloss wind vi.
That sInites th,o from the land
For never comes the ship TO port
Howoer tho breeze may be;
Just whom she nears tho waiting shore
She drifts again to sea
No tack of sail, nor turn Of holm.
Nor sheer of yeering side.
Stern-iore she drives 10 sea and night
Against the wind and tide.
80 go 80.
In vain DER Harpswell Neck the star
.Ofcyenins guides her I'M -
In vain for hor the lamps are lit.
81. Within thy tower, Segninl
In vain the harbor-boat shall hail,
In vain the pilot call;
No hand shall reef her spectral sail,
Or lot her anchor fall
Shake, brown old wives, with dresryjoy
Your gray-head hints of i'll;
And over sick-beds whispering low.
Your prophecies fulfill
Some homo amid yon birchen trees
Shall drapo its door with woe;
And slowly where the Dead Ship sails,
Tha hurial boat shall rowl
From Wolf Neck and from Flying Point,
From island and from main,
From sheltered cove and tided creek,
Shall glide tho funeral train.
The dead-boat with the bearers four.
The mournors at her stern,-
And one shall 60 the silent way
Who shall no more return!
And men shall sigh, and women weep.
Whose dear ones pale and pine,
And sadly over sunset seas
Await the ghoStly sign.
They know not that its sails arc filed
BY PHYS tender breath,
Nor see the Angel at the helm
Who steers the Ship of Death
