Clearing the Coast of Texas.

BY CLINT PARKHuRsT.
The crescent shores are dszsling bright
Beneath the sunsets glow,
And, deluged with the yellow light,
The distant hesdlands WOO the sight,
As cleaning DER the billows white
They check the oceans inward Aov.
Slow sinks the sun within the west,
obscured behind his golden fleece;
The lAmbent glory round his crest
Sinks en- the oceans lonely breast
Aud llghts the surge's Wild unrest,
Till Night comm and the pageant cease.
Then Dark the clouds sweep Ger the sky,
Responsive to the tempsst's roar;
The angry waters struggle high,
Andv vainly seeks the weary eye
To pierce the gloomy wastes that lie
Between it aud the fading shore.
The vessel plungss on its way,
Our native CLINE 10 past,
Our track 10 through the ocean spray;
Aud where the fearful breakers lay,
And whsrs the vhirlwind seeks its prey,
westill must Hy before the blast.
Perch Anoe the gale that drives Us on
NAY sweep us TO our doom;
PerohAnee the stars go pale snd wan
May see the last lOru prospect gone,
Aud ere the light Of lsggArd dawn
Our minute gun may boom.
Ah hsrssr Jet the tempest swcilS,
And darker yet the heavens grow
deeper hHds Ger nldnight tells,
Ths blast shrieks like . demon . yells,
Dread thundsrs rumble forth their kneils
In mouOdes Of woe.
Al whAsA scene on which to gaze
The ocean lashed to foam,
while IN ountain high tse billOws raise,
And 10 Its lurid splendor plays
The bNlsful lightning's angry blszs,
ImpsriouS in Its cloudy home.
In fragments hang the bursted sails.
The mAstI bend low bat do NOT break
The stsrncn eye . moment quAis,
This vsrmsst cheek . mOm,nt Pslss.
The irmsst heart . moment fails,
And nerves Of iron shake.
Bat true the oak as massive steel,
Back to itS place It springs again,
And while the sullsn thunders peal,
Aud ghssIly horrors round US steal,
Aud stricken orAVens frenEisd knsel,
Down sweep the storms Of frozen rain.
The slippery deck with ice 10 laid,
Beware the surge that sweeps Il Ger,
For vain the hand that's stretched Cor aid,
And vain the orJ for suceOr made,
When hero hearts became afraid
That never eringsd before.
Some hideouS power directs the gale,
Some hslliIh spirit seems 10 reign;
Above the prov the waters scale,
Aud should the fimay matches fail,
Our fats may form some solemn tale
To warn the daring from the main.
Bat gallant for ms spring up the mast
Aud cling to yards that dip the spray,
And while the ship Is hurled and cast
Az though each momen. were its last,
They fur the canvass from the blast
And set the hurrieAne ct bay.
