CHRISTMAS CAROLS AT SEA.

Sing and live again that time
As ycu sing. Do you regret
There's one who dreams Of home scarce
Another who signs for home DER sea
There's carol for warp and love for weft.
In that hymn In a minor key.
Though over the waters a yoae rims pure
As the notes 20 up 10 a song 70 Heaxen-
