Among the long, black rafters
The wavering shadows lay,
And the current that came from the ocean
Seemed to lift and bear them away,
AS, sweeping and eddying through them,
Rose the belated tide,
And, streaming into the moonlight,
The seaweed foated wide.
And like those waters rushing
Among the wooden piers,
A Hood OF thoughts came DER me
That filed my eyes with tears.
How often, o how often,
In the days that had gone by,
had stood on that bridge at midnight
And gazed on that wave and skyl
How often, o, how often,
had wished that the ebbing tide
Would bear me away on its bosom
Ger the ocean wild and widel
For my heart was hot and restless,
And my life was full of care,
And the burden laid upon me
Seemed greater than 1 could bear.
But now it has fallen from me-.
1t is buried In the sea,
And only the sorrow of others
Throws its shadow over me.
Yet whenever L cross the river,
On its bridge of wooden piers,
Like the 0dor of brine from the ocean
Comes the thought of other years.
And think how many thousands
OF care-encumbered men,
Each bearing his burden of sorrow,
Have crossed the bridge since then.
see the long procession
Still passing to and fro,
The young heart hot and restless,
And the old subdued and slow
And forever and forever,
As long as the river flows,
AS long as the heart has passions,
As long as life has woes:
The moon and its broken reflection
And its shadows shall appear,
And the symbol OF love in heaven,
And its wavering image here.
