The coral reefs are there in wide pro-
fusion,
Yet hidden meath the CLASSY ocean
wave;
Which tempts one nearer to the un-
known terror,
Until too late, and then, too late to
save.
From out the west may come the wild.
est tempest
The clouds sail fast, wind driven, far
away,
The lightning flashes, ships are lost and
sunken,
A crimson sunset slowly ends the day.
Then on and on the golden ship sails
swiftly
Past pleasant lands and sunny isles
of green,
Through foamy seas, through straits
deep and narrow,
BY rivers, mountains, deserts, woodland
scenes.
Sometimes a white tower CLEANS from
dark green forests,
To which white winding paths lead
Close-pacled by flowers and shrubs and
trees outnumbered,
Which shade the path and hide the
temple door.
Then there's the rugged path all strewn
with hoary bouiders.
All white, smooth, glaring treacher-

forbidding,
Above the golden clouds, sun, hill.
From deck the paths are clear, all
bright alluring,
They hint Of joys and pleasures I'M
surpassed.
But like icebergs only give message
Of Future pleasures found and found
at last.
The ship sails on and leaves behind
the harbors,
Ger lakes some ships which drift
forsaken with the tide;
And, only wait until strong and
tearing tempest,
Shall send them to the bottom, side
by side.
At last the ship has ceased to wan
der,
It slowly sails into the ice-bound
sea,
And fades away into the midnight
darkness,
To end the voyage and forever be,
So. like the ship. we leave the friend
ly harbor,
To sail the sea of life, unbounding
wide,
Where each shall choose his path OF
love and duty,
And share the joys and sorrows
side by side.
We bid farewell. dear old Whining.

AS we our golden ship, with cheers
embark;
At last our memories fair will guide

AS we sail into the lasting sea o.
