She stood within the bayed recess,
And gazed out on the sleeping sea,
Bathed in the starlight's loveliness.
AS still as mortal things may be;
Far off she saw the fishers sail,
The one lone thing upon the wave.
She murmured "Ah the love he gave
Than that slight bark was far more frail."
She leaned against the tapestry;
The vision of long lost son
In faded cnlors curiousy
With antique shapes was worked thereon
Still gazed she-could no more discern
The shadow on the ocean vast;
Beneath the horizon sank the mast,
She whispered, "He will ne'er return"
There came up from the darkene West
A cloud with ever deepening frown;
The waves awoke, and from their crest,
Snow fakes By rising Winds we're blown.
The white cliffs took wilder form,
In broken shafts the moonbeams slid,
The frightened stars their glories hid.
She sadly sighed, There comes a Storm"
The fierce night beloved into day,
The cruel day thundered into night,
Till once again the pallid gray,
Waxed stronger into noontido's light;
The wild winds hushed into psalm,
And softer sounds the Heaven fill
A sweet voice whispers. Peace be still ~
She murmured low. There comes a calm"
Gods acre owns another mound,
The grass with iresh'dropped tears is wet
Where loving hands have planted round
The lily and the violet.
Years passed. There comes across the sea,
A man whose brow is lined with care,
He seeks that Rrave-he bows him there
"Oh, Lillian L come back to theeV
