SEEN ON THE SIDE
Behind the Sens.
By HENRY EDWARD MARINER


The rolling seas the tossing, seas
The seas that pitch and their names
The seas that pound the rocky beach
OF Fortune Islanders and Danes:
The seas that compass half the Earth
And roar or whisper, in their mood
That scream when winds are in the tides
Or scroon when Neptunes daughter broods
The restless seas behind tho seas
And far behind the pale blue sky
That dips to meet them-yondcr where
Distances challenge mortal eye;
What is behind. behind the seas?
What shifting scenes might ono behold
Could he but see behind the seas
Rocked in their cradles ages old?
My fixed geographer defines
The limits OF the bounding deep
Drawing it in with figured lines
But scientists in Ignorance sleep!
For by tho seaman's wrath that floats
Above the wh!tecaps . by the tears
OF his lone widow. | can see
Beyond the seas. Deaths glisteninE boats
And there battieships and sails
That carry peace. and plunginG craft
That passed the Gates where tempests came
Those Gates where StySian guardians
Laughed at the Dead. the cold, cold Dead
The shades OF scamen passing by
Flying tho black and sombre black
That marks the ships when sailors die!
And when the full moon draws its path
or silver to cerulean heights,
My vision goes beyond the seas
And dreams me dreams. summer nights.

In their mania for investigation the Repub-

AS evidence that the Democrats are interpos-

it may be cited that there was not one dis

the searchlight on the Shipping Board. And
