ON BEACHY HEAD
I Tlicro down tlio quiot Channel lido Grey ghosts of Spanish galleons glido; Ho, ghostly Captain, priestly wraith, Where- now your high, -unwavering faith? Invincible? Your courago faints, You call on. God and all tho Saints, Call louder yet, they sleep maybe; —Or wcro men madofor liberty? . Still over there fight Freedom's \sons, Tlio far faint echo of the guns i Pulses tlio quiot evening air; Uprises still tho impious prayer Of mighty battle-lusting men, Their faith is wavering now as then; We bow tho heart, wo bow tho knee; Jianluncl was mado for liberty: —P. C. FitzGerald in tho "Westminster Gazette."
