SEAWARD
Look out to whore yon level line Fades green against the blue. Thoro lay his kingdom, son of mine, And there his white flag flew. There stand tho dazzling gates of jade Ueld safe by such as he. Come closer still. Bo not afraid; This is thy father's sea! His flag has found her sunset hour; On sea-doors ribbed nnd barred Turret and gun and conning-tower Rest from their ceaseless guard. She keeps him safe, with keel and gun. , Who fought to keou her freo; • I'or evermore, 0 little eon, It is thy father's soa! The waves that foam upon thy feot So softly in the sand— They know the name our hearts repeat, Shall they not understand? Though we be left with help of none These >yll keep faith with theo. Take heart! Salute! Jly sailor's son, This is thy father's sea! -Will 11. Ogilvie, in tho Gazette."
