LOST AT SEA. 



BY SABAH G. DDLEY. 



LostI 



Weary and tempest-tossed, 



Lost at sea ! 

 The ship went down in the foam, 

 And found a watery home. 

 While the waves resistless roam 



Wild and free. 



LostI 



Fiats of fate were crossed, 



Lost at sea I 

 With seaweed and coral dressed. 

 And hand crossed o'er his breast, 

 In a wakeless, dreamless rest, 



Sleepeth he. 



Lostt 



In ocean's foam and frost, 



Lost at sea 1 

 And no tear falls o'er their grave, 

 But the restless ocean wave 

 Roams o'er monarch and o'er slave 



In its glee. 



LostI 



The ones we have loved most. 



Lost at seal 

 For they may not walk the shore. 

 When some long, long voyage is o'er, 

 And they, with us no more 



Bend the knee. 



LostI 



And pallid hands are crossed. 



Lost at sea I 

 And maidens' eyes are dim, 

 And mothers' eyes o'erbrim 

 As they sadly think of him 



In the sea. 



LostI 



They are a mighty host. 



Lost at sea 1 

 And the waves say with their moan, 



I am monarch — all I own 



'Tia to me they all have gone, — 



Gone to me.
