MIDNIGHT ON THE OCEAN
We were crowded In the cabin:
Not a soul would dare to sleep;
II was midnight on tho waters
And a storm was on tho deep.
IT'S a fearful thing IN winter
To be shattered ~ the blast
And to hear these rafting trumpets
Thunder: "Cut away tho mast
So we shuddered there in silence.
For the stoutest held his breath,
While the hungry sea was roaring
And the breakers talked with death.
As thus we sat IN darkness
Each one busy in his prayers.
1--WE arc lott the captain shouted
As he staggered down the stairs
But his little DAUGHTER whispered
As she took his Icy hand;
'Isn't God upon the ocean
Just lhs same as on the land'
Then we kissed the Ettle maiden
As we spoke in better cheer
And we anchored safe In harbor
When the morn was shining clear.

Then 1t was with hands % ssntiyl
Placed upon my infant head
That she taught my lips 10 utter
Carefully the words she said.
Never can they be forgotten.
Deep are they In memory riven:
'Hallowed be Thy name. o Father
Father! Thou who art In heaven"
This shs taught me. then she told ms
or Its Import, great and deep,
After which learned to utter.
Now I lay me down to Sleep
Then 1t was With hands uplifted.
And In accents soft and mild,
That my mother asked "Our Father!
Father! do thou bless my child"
Years have passed and that dear mother
Long has slumbered meath the sod;
And l trust her salnted spirit
Revels In the home Of God.
But thnt scene at summer twilight
Never has from memory fed.
And 1t comes in all its freshness
