A SONG OF THE SEA.
I'll sing you a song of the sea, With the waves sparkling and bright, And the breeze blowing light, An.4 our dear native land on the lee. n 'How sweet ia the song of the sea 1 AYjifch friends looking out on the quay, Tileir ''kerchiefs and hands waving free, And bright smiles and welcome for thte. 1 How sweet ! how sweet ! How sweet is the song of the sea ! I'll sing you a song of the sea, When the sky lowers dark, ■ - O'er the plague-stricken bark, As she drifts o'er the desolate sea. ' How sad is the song of the sea, When overhead hangs the dim cloud, Like a pall o'er the dead sailor's shroud A#i>e sinks in the vast wand'ring »c». >•) How sad 1 how sad I How sad is the song of the sea ! I'll sing you a song of the spa, 1 ' When the fierce lightnings flash, And the stormy waves dash, A ! nd the rocky shore looms on the lee ; ' How dread is the song of the sea ! When the hearts of the bravest will quail As they shrink from the furious gale, And tha wrath of the menacing sea. -'_ How dread ! how dread ! How dread is the song of the sea. ' ' —Anon.
