stood beside the ocean in a tropic land,
Above blue sky, which met bluer sea,
Whose frothy waves dashed 'gainst a coral
strand.
Whose soft mists settled DER fowry lea.
On white-pathed hills the oleanders grew;
Ger lily fields bright-feathered songsters few,
No thing of Commerce rode upon the waves
To bring the dreamer back to thoughts of
life;
The only sounds came from deep coral caves
Whose walls were crumbling meath the
wat'ry strife.
No rushing feet no babbling tongues, no cries
A noiseless world-a dream of Paradise.
Here could no sorrow come, no worldly woe
A lifeless Life, with Nature for bride;
The only tumult when the winds would blow,
The only shadows when the sun would hide.
No tears, no torments for the heart or soul;
how'ry pathway to the heavenly goal.
Thus did the fancy lead the mind astray
And paint the picture of a hollow life,
Made up of endless bliss and nightless day,
Whose joy at last would lead to bitter strife.
A dream of earthly ease in region blest.
Which, if fulfilled, would bring a restless rest.

A ship was rising. headed for the shore;
a sweeter vision brought tn ut sail to me
Than that which held me captive just before.
