bark, one radiant summer day.
Sailed joyfully out on placid sea;
Lightly it danced on its gladstone way,
Like thing of life so bright and free,
The sun shone bright in the azure SKY,
Soft, feecy clouds drifted calmly by;
The blue waves rippled and murmured low
OF peace and rest in their ceaseless fow;
And the bark sailed on.
A watcher stood on the lonely shore,
And smiled through tears while she waved fare
well
To the gallant craft. as from her 1t bore
One who was dearer than words could tell,
Still her sad eyes watched till sail and spar
Were lost beyond the horizons bar:
Then she turned with a sigh to the world again,
While her poor heart throbbed with It's anxious
pain,
And the bark sailed on.
The sad waves grieved in the autumn gale,
And tossed their crests meath the wintry skies;
But the CLEAN OF the white returning sail
Gladdened never the watchers ewes.
AND the summer sun looked brightly down
On the sloping roofs of the seaport town;
But the treacherous sea no token gave
VI the sailors fate, or the restless grave
Where the bark went down.
