THE ISLAND IN THE SEA.

Once a small and lonely island,
Far from my sister shore,
Nestled on the oceans bosom
Lulled by its unceasing roar
Flowers bright and greenest verdure
Clad that island TO the strand,
Where the ripping dancing wavelets,
Chased each other on the sand.
Once bird, storm tossed and wear,
Seeking for place of rest,
Spied this island of the ocean
And dropped painting on its breast.
Then between them grew friendship
Strange as any ever hearc,
For the bird it loved the island,
And the island loved the bird.
Deep beneath the waves and sunlight
Burned the earths undying fire,
Raging fierce and all resistless
Rolled it forth in rending ire.
Shuddering, trembling, then the island
Sank into watery grave,
While the bird with dragged pinion
Floatei lifeless on the wave.
