THE STORM.

Odd Blow the gale from out the north
Wild moan the forest, vale and moor.
Fierce spirits wander boldly forth,
Grim monsters scream at every door.
Against the tempeat's hurting might
God keep the helpless poor tonight.
Cold creep the waves along tho ahoroI
Wild shout the breakers In their gies.
Fierce swells the voice Of ocean roar,
Grim stalk the shades along tho lea.
Against the storms tempeatuous might
God guard the sea tossed ships tonight
Gold mists are turned to rafting hailI
Wild voices call In every gust.
Fierce forms resist the shouting galsI
Grim faces toward the sea are thrust.
Oh, God, against the oceans might
Protect the staggering ships tonight
All, cold the seas embrace and chill
The winds that wildly howl and fling,
A wrecks are tossed and forms now still
To spar and mainstay sadly cling.
All. yes, for aye, from tempest might
Thine own are safely housed tonight.
