EFFUSION XIII.

WRITTEN

AT MIDNIGHT,

BY THE

SEA - SIDE, AFTER A VOYAGE.

OH! I could laugh to hear the midnight wind
That rushing on it's way with careless sweep
Scatters the Ocean waves—and I could weep,
Ev'n as a child! For now to my rapt mind
On wings of winds comes wild-ey'd Phantasy,
And her dread visions give a rude delight!
