The Fishers Widow.
The boats go out and the boats come in
Under the wintry sky;
And the rain and the foam are white in

And the white gulls cry.
She sees the sea when the wind is wild,
Swept by the windy rain;
And her hearts a-weary of sea and land
AS the long days Wane.
She sees the torn sails fly in the foam,
Broad on the skyline gray;
And the boats go out and the boats come

But there's one away.

frankly accepted without fear Of the
risks. To be on equally good terms with
this state of public opinion he required
