Peeps above the s-ep bias So.
Like water spirit DARK.
n.
Like some lone spirit Of the water
gsking apon the fair moonlight,
Or sishing for soms earthly daughter
In silence and IN night.
Does sorrow dwell beneath the wave
In coral grot or crystal eaye1
And DO the nympDs and nAiads know
To weep. Does some fair Undine,
Meath yon ray Of silvsry sheen,
Drop amber tears Of woe T.
III.
Ahf sorrow ever o'er the earth
With Joy goes almost band in hand,
Changing and mingling JOY aud mirth,
Thick ss yon sivery sand.
The songsters on their sum mer wings,
The fairest and the bsst of things,
Find mirth still mingled with alloy.
All sadness dwelletb everywhere-
Upon the earth and fn the arr
AMI meath the waves, yea, even there
Grief mingles still with Joy.
~.
lIark listen doth my music, lone
And dismal lift my fancy high
Or hence this saf aud signing lone
OF music floating by
Now swels it over leaf and bough,
Beneath. along the water now,
And All ! how very sad 1t seems,
Mournful as solemn tolling bells.
Echoes OF by gone funeral knells.
Like spirits signing sad farevells
Or music heard in dreams.
a frr-- r -
How long ago was heard the sound;
How brave men fought and fell
And iu the bay were drowned.
They say it lisa spirit band,
Mourning in Psscagoula's sand
The bones of many tribes are there
Their moans left echoes on the waves
That roll o'er there eternal graves,
And a the beach the water lavss,
Sad music fills the air.
VI.
Again how strange II cannot be
The night.wind, for the night is still.
And not leaf stirs on the tree,
Or blade upon the hill
Now deep. now distant, now so near,
You start and smile at your own fear
And all so mournful swells along
The sound that thrills your feelings deep
You long to steal away and weep;
You sigh to listen and to sleep,
Lulled by this spirit song.
Not when the tempest whip the wave;
Not when the storm ,fends stirred;
But when tis silent MS the grave.
Then isthe Music beard
Then wildly, sweetly from the lake
The split song is heard to hreak,
And Ger the grassy wave to play;
The war song of the Indian brave
Comes from his deep and wstery grave,
And floats upon the sivery wave
OfPascagoula's Bay.
