THE SEA-FAIRIES.

Slow sailed the weary mariners, and saw
Between the green brink and the running foam
White limbs unrobéd in a chrystal air,
Sweet faces, rounded arms, and bosoms prest
To little harps of gold: and while they mused,
Whispering to each other half in fear,
Shrill music reached them on the middle sea.
