the Green Mountain Herald, and run
by Rev. Elbridge Gerry. West Ran

ablest and best edited Of the lot, but
it had to 90 under for lack Of support.

1t was written on the death of gen
tleman named Miller, a surge on at sea
who was engaged to "Mary"-Mis
AiYds. The poet was tutO
in the family Of the lady's father, ant
was betrothed to her sister.
The moon had climbed the highest hill,
Which rises Ger the source of Dee,
And from her eastern summit shed
Her silvery light on tower and tree;
Then Mary laid her down to sleep,
Her thoughts on Sandy far at sea,
When soft and low, a voico was heard,
Say, "Mary, weep no more for me-"
She from her pillow gently raised
Her head to see who there might be.
And saw young Sandy shiv'ring stand,
With yisage pale and hollow eye
"0h, Mary dear, cold is my clay
Ii lies beneath the stormy sua.
Far, ia" from thee sleep in death
So, Mary, weep no more for me
"Three stormy nights and stormy days
We tossed upon the raging main;
And long we strove our bark to save,
But all our striving was in vain.
Even then when horror chilled my blood
My heart was filled with love for thee
The storm is past, and at rest,
So, Mary, weep no more for me
'0h maiden dear, thyself prepare
We sooU shall meet upon that shore
Where love is free from doubt and care
And thou and shall part no more
Loud crowed the cock, the spirii fed,
No more of Sandy could she see,
But SOFT the passing spirit said,
"Swaet Mar weep no more for me-"
