castle C0urdnt:
The Northern Star -
Sailed DER the bar,
Bound to the Baltic sea.
In the morning gray
She stretched away
Twas weary day to me.
And many an hour,
In sieet and shower,
BY the lighthouse rock stray,
And watch till dark
For the winged bark
OF him that's far away.
The churchyards bound
wander round,
Among the grassy graves;
But all hear
Is the north wind drear,
And all see, the waves.
Oh roam not there,
Thou mourner fair,
Nor pour the fruitless tear;
Thy plant OF woe
Is all too low,
The dead, they cannot hear.
The Northern Star
Is set afar,
Set in the raging sea;
And the bill0ws spread
Ger the sandy bed
That holds thy love from thee.

his charity in part remain to refresh and
nourish him till his change comes, while
those not 10 be found on earth are gar
Dered for him in heaven.
