FROM BLAcKsTRAP TO MT. BLUE.

Like crumpled rose leaves lie below;
While like glimpse Of Sunderland

Removed from out her native town;
The seething surf becomes part
OF slghs, that toss her up and down;
Until near an echo strange
OF my lone heart that brooks no change;
Whose sad sighs tossing up and down
Keep sobbing for her native town!
Beyond those curling lines OF smoke,
PreSumpsc0t river finds the Bay;
And casting of her factoried yoke
Plunges in one long hold ~!
Still nearer to my hand turn,
Where faithful Blaekstrap signal stands,
Fearful lest one who might return
Should miss the clasp of greeting hands;
And then should hear an echo strange
Like my sad heart that brooks no change;
Whose sad sighs tossing up and down
Are moaning for her native town.
lift my brimming eyes above
Where native hills Jap range on range.
Better the graves OF those love
Than living faces, fair and strange
So let me feast on old Mount Blue
Until my hungry heart is filledl
SO let me think OF dear ones true,
What though their earthly tones are stilled
No more I'll hear the echo strange,
For my saa soul shall brook his change,
While hallUwvd memory bears my heart
Up to the Hillsl my heavenly part
