THE SONG OF THE SEA.

On, the song Of the sea,
The wonderful song of the seal
Like the far-of hum of a throbbing drum
II steals through the night to me;
And my fancy wanders free
To little seaport town,
And spot knew, where the roses grew,
By cottage small and brown,
And a child strayed up and down
Ger hillOck and beach and lea,
And crept at dark TO his bed, TO bark
To the wonderful song of the sea.
