LINES ON THE DEPARTURE OF THE BASQUE ENSIGN FROM HAWKE’S BAY. <3l WAT, uoble bark, to thy dear native land. Qtt. _ And leave far behind thee our surf-beaten ■- “fraud. Bearing tidings of peace from our pastoral bills. Our land of clear streams and of murmuring riUa. Away, noble bark, on the wings of the breeze, ■Jjfoi&our pebbly shor; to yon Isle of the Seas, Where dear friends who hope, and fond mothers 1 j* i ‘° mourn * Farewell, noble bark, and may prosperous gales booed thy prow through the waters, and swell thy aoilp May the devious tempests forget their loud roar Till thine anchors are cast on Britannia's shore. - K.M. Walroa, 7th January, 1867.
