BIZ FATHER Ryan.

We listless lay,
our boat q " Dream Of Rest" the still sea-
And,-we were four.
Tho wind had died,
That all day long, sang songs unto the deep,
It was Eventide
And far and wide,
Sweet silences cIept through fhe RITA of sound,
With spels Of sleep.
Our gray sails cast
The only cloud that hecked the foamless sea,
And many ut last
Beside the mast,
One fell to slnmber. with dreamy face
And.-we were three
No ebb! No fowl
10 sound! NO stir,-in the wide wondrous calm!
In tho sunsets glow
The shore shelved low,
And snow.whits far ridges screened with shade
or dropping Palm.
Our hearts uere hushed,-
All HR hts seemed melting into boundless Blue;
But the west was hushed,
Where sunset blushed
Thro' clouds Of roses. when another slept
And,-we were two.
How still the air
Not cen a Geo bird Ger us wave-ward flow
Peace rested there!
Light! every whore!
Nay Light! some shadows fell on that fair scene
And,-we were two'
Some shadows! Wherei
No m after where all shadows are not seen
For the clouds of care
To skies all fair.
Will sudden rise, tears to shining eyes,
And dim their sheen.
We spake word,
Tho each ween. did hear the others soul
Not wavelet stirred
Aud yet IRE heard
Tho loneliest music of the wearieSt waves
That ever roll
Yea Peace! you swayed
Your sceptre jeweled with the Evening light
And then you said:
Hero falls no shade
Hero fcetz no southland all the seas and skies,
Sleep calm and bright
Nay Psaoel Not sol
The wildcat waves may f, 81 thy sceptre's spell
And fear to Aow,-
But to and fro
Beyond thy reach, lone waves on troubled seas
Will sink and swell.
No word cen yet!
Were eyes speaking while they watched tho SKY
And in the sunset,
Infinite regret
Swept signing fIom the skies into our souls
1 wonder why'
half hour passed.
\ Twas more then hat aEei tia ever thus
~. Words came at last,
M FlutterinE and fast,
" As oh adoWs yelling sunsets in the souls
OF each of US.
Tho noseless Night
Sped f!ttng like ghost, where waves Of Blue
Lost all their light.
AZ lips once bright
Whence emile B have fled or the Navelets sighed
And we were two.
AID We WEI Q twin,
Not nature made So yet loves bond;
The thoughts within
Our minds were kin
And kith earth love Rd in us a shrine
We looked beyond.
The day had gone
And on the dim high altar Of the Dark
Stars, ono by one
Far family shone;
The moonlight tIembcd like a mothers Imiles,
Upon our bark
We softly spoke
The waves seemed listening on the lonely sea,
The winds awoke,
Our whispers broke
The spell Of bilenosi and two eyes Enclosed,
And-we we'O three.
THE bree 20 blows fair"
He said 1.-THE waking waves set towaid the shore
The long, brown hair
OF the other there,
Who slumberCd, hear the mast. With dreamy face
Stired,-We were four.
That starry night
A mile or SO O shadows from the so
Two faces bright
with laughter light
Shore on two souls iii that shine OF sbrner,
And,-we were four.
Over the reach
OF darklipg waves, our beat, like wildbir flew
We reached the beach;
Nor souS-nor speech
Shall ever tell our Eacramental thought
when,-we wero two.
