ON LITTLE TRAVERSE BAY.
The sparkle Of the North was in the air,
And never lake so blue, or SKY SO IalT,
AS when I saw the little yachts at play
Upon the dancing waters of the bay
They raced away. and from the farther shore
Whose hills rise green above PetOskey, bore
Beyond the Point: then paused. afraid TO brave
The menace of the great lakes larger wave
They turned their white sails leaning in the sun,
And hOn}eVard fled and VIXEN the day done
They fired their little guns, and lay at rest,
Safe in the inner harbors peaceful breast
With evening rose the storms portentous dirge
Above the dark and melancholy surge;
The harbOr's warning light burned round and req
Against the black nights thtcky gathering dread.
And then a schooner, old. and SCARED and slow,
It's heavy hull with lumber laden low,
Went out into the lake. its sails unfurled.
To do the honest labor of the world.
