CASTLE ISLAND LIGHT.
A BALLAD
From The Independent.

l.
Between the outer Keys,
Where the drear Bahamas be- ,
Through a crooked pass the vessels SAL
TO reach the Canb Sea.
'Tis the Windward Passage, long and dread,
From bleak San Salvador;
Three thousand miles the wave must rou
Ere il wash the Afric shoreI
Here are the coral reefs
That hold their booty FAST;
The sea-fan blooms IN groves DeneaL-'.
And sharks go lOlling past
Hlther and yon the sand bars lie,
Where the pricky bush has grown.
And where the rude spoDge-isher dwelis.
In his waited hut, alone.
Southwark. amid the strait,
Is the Castle Island Lights
OF all that bound the ocean rOuhe
1t has the lOnelIest SITE
'Twixt earth and heaven the waves are urlNoH
So:ely upon its flank; ..-o,,
The light streams ont for sea-leaSues seven
To the Great Bahama BANK
A girded tower, a furlong scant
or whitened sand and rock,
And one sole being the waters seeing,
Where the gull and gannet tock.
He is the warder of the pass
That mariners must nnd;
His beard drifts down like tho ashen moss
Which hangs in the southern wind
The old man boar stands on the snorc
And bodies the whitening gale, -,,
Or wonders whence from the distant "or'u
VIII come the next dim sail.
From the Northern Main, from England,
From France. the craft go by;
Yet sometimes one Will stay lcr CouISo
That must his wants supply
In Christmas storm the "tlarbel sruch
At night on the Pelican ShOIl,
Rntthe keerer's wife heard not the guns
And the bells impoI1ng toll.
She died ere the gale went down,
Went by her daughters threc- "
Snn-Aocked, vet fair, with their English hair
Nymphs of the wind and sea.
With sail and oar some island shore
AT will their siulis might gala,
But they never had known tine KISS OF man,
Nor looked on the peopled nalh'
Nor heard of the old man Atlas,
Who holds the unknown seas,
And the golden fruit that Is guardeu wei
BY the young Hesperldes
Who looks on Castle Island Llght
May hear the seamen teli
How one the mate. alone was saved
From he wreck of the " CIariDel';
And how for months he tarried
With the keeper on the ISLE
And for each OF the blue-eyed daughters
Had ever u word or a smile.
Between the two that loved HIM
He lightly made MS choice,
And be lines n cnancc snip took them of
From the fathers sig and voice.
The second her trouble could not bear,
so wild her thOuI gifts hal grown
That she tici with lurking shu2t.cr crow
But whittier was never known.
Then the keeper aged like Lear,
Left with one faithful child;
But twas i'll 10 sec a iualu 81 young
Who never sang or smiled.
IT'S sad to uide with IN oil, o u %,
And between tine wave ANA -..t
To watch all day the sea-iowl p-H,,
While lone ships hasten by.
There came, anon. the while iuii ..'H
That rules the mild year,
Before whose sheen the lesser S. iI-
Grow pale and disappear
II glistencd down on a light house tower.

And the feature wan OF a gray old EiH.
