Hold the sea-shell to thine car, That the murmur of the wave From its rosy depths may hear. Like a voice from out the grave Calling through the night to thee ! Low ami soft and far away From a silent distant shore, Where is neither night nor day, Nor the sound of plying oar; For all sleep beside that sea! Low and soft, but constant still, For it murmurs evermore With a steady, pulsing thrill, Of tire waves upon the shore j And it tells nought else to tl>ec. Hold my heart up to thihe ear, That the one beloved name Singing thro’ its depths may hea~; And the song is still the same, —• s ’Tis a murmur from the sea! From the great sea of my love, Far reaching, calm, and wide, W here no storm nor tempests move, Nor ebbs the constant tide ; And the waves still sing of thee! H.S.
