CRUISING.

What are the days but islands,
So MANY little islands, iG9 r n
And sleep the sea In silence .is. =
That flows above them allY
1874 There, when the moon is risen,
The peaceful waters glisten:
But yonder plashing-listen
sL ~. 1t is the souls that fall,
The little boats are skimming..
The wind-led boats are skimmtng,
Each in q silver trimming,
III Apart from fleet and shore.
There not an oar is dripping.
With just n cable slipping.
Glides out the phantom shipping
That wanders evermore.
Every days an island.
ft1 great or barren island.
A lowland or q highland,
t That looks up in the sea.
Their fruitful groves are crowmng;
Their barren clifts are frowninB;
And rocky channels drowning
The little boats that flee.
How many are the islands.
The teeming talking islands,
90 That in the sea of silence 4t
The rowing vessels fndY
Their number no man knoweth;
- Their way the current showeth;
The tide returnless howeth.
And each is left behind.
The sailors long to tarry-
For rest they long to tarry-
When at some isle of fairy
They touch and go ashore.
With songs of wistful pleading
They follow late unloading
And with the tides receding
Are drifting as before.
But sometimes, in the sailing
k The blind and endless sailing IL
They pass beyond the hailing
Of land upon the lee
The l0wlands and the highlands,
And all beyond the islands,
Behold the sea OF silence
Behold the great white sea.
