The winds, that bring the tlue
Stray Mountain-stolen hints.
Sand-sprinkled sprawling low.
Your gnarled trunk breasts the air,
And bids the seaSull share
With it the briny glow.
OF iordship naught you keep,
But as pilot are,
Who knows each crag anu par
Where death-wlite breakers leap.
Blow. blow.( o northeast blast.
What cares the seacoast pine
Your shouts to him are wine,
When all your wrath Is past.
