THE WRECK.


The moonlight fell on the stately ship;
    It shone over sea and sky;
And there was nothing but water and air
    To meet the gazing eye.

Bright and blue spread the heaven above,
    Bright and blue spread the sea;
The stars from their home shone down on the wave,
    Till they seemed in the wave to be.

With silver foam like a cloud behind,
    That vessel cut her way;
