Leaped up and ran back again;
Their sound was almost fashioned in speech
Sweet longings and signs of pain.
There were tiny shells strewn on the sand
And Msrgot, our neighbOr's daughter,
Went gathering them in her small white hand
While gazed over the water.

And his shout of welcome / could hear
Clearer than Margot's singing,

And turned back from the sea.

Or ever the daY was done;
They were heading toward the tde-washed
shore
Before the set of sun.
Eut a cruel cloud rose wild and black
And a stOrm-blast swept the sea;
No sal could live in its savage track,
No boat could return to me.
They were wrapped in the billows' mad en-

They were drowned in sight of land;
They found together a burial-place
On the cold, dark beds of sand.

slavery should never exist thore.
