stood on the shore of the beautiful sea,
As the billows were roaming wild and free;
Onward they came with uniailing force.
Then backward turned in their restless course;
Ever and ever sounded their roar.
Fo ming and dsshing against the shoreI
Ever and ever they rose and fell,
With heaving and sighing and mighty swell;
And deep seemed calling aloud 70 deep.

Calmly and quietly sink into resta
Obi when shall the waves wild murmurini

And the mighty waters be hushsd to peace9
-.
Then the ocean's voice I seemed to hear,
Mourniully. s0lemnly-sounding near,
Like I. wall sent up from the caves below,
Fraught With dark memories Of human woe,
falling OF loved ones buried there,
Uf the dying shrek and the dying prayer;
Teiii6g Of he1rts still watching in vain
.of the widow' 8 9rsan. the orphan's cry.
And tho mothers speechless agony.
Oh, NO, the ocean can never rest
With suca secrets hidden within its breast.
There is eOrrow written upon the sea.
And dark and stormy its waves must be:

That dark, relentless, and stormy deep.
But day will come, q blessed day.
When earthly sorrow shall pass away,
When the hour OF anguish shall turn to peace,
And even the roar OF the waves shall cease.
Then out from the deepest and darkest bed.
Old Ocean shall render up her dead.
And freed from the weight Of human woe,
Shall quietly sink In her last repose,
No sorrow shall ever be written then
On the depths OF the fea or the hearts of men.
But heaven and earth renewed shall shine.
