\ SONG or THE SHIPS.

The sky made a whip Of the winds and
dashed the sea into foam,
And the keen-blowing gales tore the
flags and the sails OF the ships
that We're piunging home;
or the ships that were tossing home
on the black and biilowy deep,
But who shall reach to the wrecks, the
wrecks. where the ships and their
captains sleep?
Oh, wrecks. by the black seas tossed.
in the desolats ocean nights
Lost, lost, in the darkness! lost
In sight o the harbor lights!
The Sky made a veil o the clouds. and
a scourge o the lightning red,
And the blasts bowed the masts OF the
ships that Jared where love and
the sea guHs led;
OF the ships that were faring home
with love for the waiting breast;
But where is the love that can reach
to the wrecks where the ships and
their captains rest,
Oh. ships of our love, waye-tossed
In the fathomless ocean nights,
Lost, lost, in the blacknsss! lost
In sight o the harbor lights.
There was once a ship of my soul that
tossed DER a stormy sea,
And this was my prayer, when TIN
nights gloomed drear: Send my
souls ship safe to me,
Send my souls ship safely home. from
pillows and blackened skies,"
But where is the soul that can reacl
TO the depth. the depths where IN.
souls ship lies?
! F---r --gs-r~--vvr
Oh. ship of my soul. storm-tOssed
In the far and the fearful nights.
| Lost. lost, in the blacknessi lost
In sight o the harbor lights.
