shattered by great explosion, the

The considerable variation in the
eccentricity and inclination of their

greater probability of their separate
formation just as We're the other

general discarding of Olbers theory.

Glistening sail and cleaning sunshins,
Favoring tide and wooing breeze,
Rest and peace and strength and gladness,
While we sail DER summer seas.
Softly Graded in the wave-depths,
Rocked to rhythmic measures slow;
While more strongly woos the sea-breeze,
And more swiftly on we go.
On between the bright green marsh-lands,
Where fair cleaning waters lie,
On between the sedge-fringed meadows,
And the tree-crowned headlands high.
Broader grows the winding river
Opening outward 10 the bay.
Yellow-sanded beaches, curving,
Hem the ripping, watery way.
Now the pungent salt sea odors
Greet us as we ride the swell.
Leave behind all earth's conhnngs.
Freely speed where peace doth dwell.
Fainter, DREAMER, fades the beach-line
SKY above and waves below,
Foaming wake and circling sea-gulls,
And the plash OF ebb and flow.
Many a bright mirage OF fancy,
MANY tender dream OF youth,
Floats athwart the radiant breezcs,
Clear as winged words OF truth.

Splash of swiftly flying spray,
Hearts that sing aloud with gladness.
