No wreaths immortellas incircle liis bed, No wife’s loving- arms to pillow his head, Nor bedew’d is his bier With a fond drnother’s tear. The short prayer is ended, and launched in the deep, Where wild ocean surges Will chant his lone dirges, ’Till the last trumpet sounding awaken his sleep. Uunclouded our joys, as those bright Tropic scenes, As the ocean each day his glory reveals To our lingering gaze, Where each wonder delays— Now it’s an inlet bedewed in the spray, Verdant and blooming, And mountains high looming, Snow-capt and freezing, when winter’s delay. And chased flying-fishes ’twixt water and sky, That may envy the nautilus safe sailiug i>y, Now, reckless careering, Now, carefully steering ; But reefing, or clewing, when danger’s at hand, And sly pilot-fishes, Oft led by his wishes To seek out prey, the shark will demand. Cross India’s wide ocean where constant’s the flow Of the great tidal wave, and steady winds blow, We’re rapidly sailing, Our ship never failing ’Neath the hand never erring, and farseeing eye Of our captain commanding, Who’s strictly demanding The needful precautions when storms are nigh. As travellers way-worn will gaze in delight, When the goal of their hopes bursts first on their sight ; On the horizon gleams In the morn-sunbeams Our haven of rest, our longed destiny— Lo, New Zealand’s Isles ! Wreathed in Pacific smiles, Awaiting to greet their new guest “ Wanganui.” Waipawa, September 20, 1878.
