long SO much to be
A sailor, as my father was,
And sail the wide, wide sea-.
"She gave consent, although her heart
Was bound up in her SON
1T may be better for us both
o Lord, Thy will be done.
You won't forget me, my dear boy,
When far away, l know,
So with my blessing and my prayers,
Go, my own Willie, 60
Ten long, long years then rolled away,
And sorely Helen pined;
No letter from her son had come,
No news of any kind"
Here Thomas poked the fire, and
made
The flames leap high and clear
"NoW l must shift the scene" he said,
"And tell Of Willie We're:
when Willie left his mothers home
He shipped on board the Tyne
And all went happily and well
Until they crossed the line.
Then on them burst a furious storm
That fiercer grew each day,
Until upon a lonely isle
The ship was cast away.
"And when the raging storm drew off,
It's work of havoc done,
Of all the crew but one survived,
And Willie was that one.
For two long years he strained his
gaze
Across the wide, wide wave,
But never came a friendly ship
To succor or to save.
For two long years his only food
Was shell-fish from the shore,
And sea-birds' eggs, and leaves, and
fruit
The feathery palm-trees bore.
"The long third year drew near it's
close,
And it was Christmas Day,
Poor Willie sat upon the shore
His thoughts were far away.
"A hand is on his shoulder laid,
A loud voice greets his ear

man,
On many a far-off shore;
I've travelled twenty thousand miles
To look on home once more.
''She rose up slowly from her chair,
Her lips no words expressed;
She flung her arms around his neck
And swooned upon his breast"
Here Thomas poked the fire, and
turned
His face to hide the tears
That filled his eyes, whene'er he told
The story of the Veres.
And then he said with trembling
voice
mo words can tell the joy
Of Helen when she looked again
Upon her long-lost boy.
They left the poor and humble cot
That had such sorrows seen.
And dwelt together in one home
Down by old Hazeldean.
"Old William We're, whom l knew well.
Has often said to me-
'Whene'er I read my mothers gift

That pious mothers love.
