o, we go down to sea in ships
But Hope remains behind.
And Love, with laughter on his lips,
And Peace, of passive mind;
While out across the deeps of night.
With lifted sails of prayer,
We voyage off in quest for light,
Nor find it anywhere.
o Thou who wroughtest earth and sea-
Yet keepest from our eyes.
The shores of an eternity,
In Gains of paradise.
Blow back upon our foolish quest,
With all the driving rain
OF binding tears and wild unrest
And wafl us home again!

Crowds See Dorlc Depart.

and did not court contests OF that
character except as means to an end;
but Orfutt entered readily into the
