MISCELLANEOUS POEMS.


And some, far down below the sounding wave,—
    Still shall they lie, though tempests o'er them sweep;
Never may flower be strewn above their grave,
    Never may sister weep!

And thou—the billow's queen—even thy proud form
    On our glad sight no more perchance may swell;
Yet God alike is in the calm and storm—
    Fare thee well, bark! farewell!
