A Cry from the Shore.

Come down. ye graybeard mariners,
Unto the wasting shore
The morning winds are up; the gods
Bid me to dream no more
Come, tell me whether must sail,
What peril there may be,
Before take my life in hanl
And venture out to seal
I'VE may not tell the where to sail,
Nor what the dangers are:
Each sailor soundeth for himself,
Each hath a separate star;
Each sailor soundeth for himself,
Anti on the awful sea
What we have learned is ours alone;
We may not tell 1t thee"
Come back, o ghostly mariners.
Ye who have gone before!
dread the dark impetuous tides;
dread the further shore.
Tell the the secret of the waves;
Say what my fate shall be-
Quick! for the mighty winds are up,
And will not wait for inc!
Hail and farewell, o voyager!
Thyself must read the waves;
What we have learil'd of sun and stori
Lies with us in our graves;
Whatwe have iearn'd OF sun and stori
Is ours alone to know.
The winds are blowing ont to sea;
Take up thy life and go!'
