LOST AT SEA. 



BT SARAH O. DtTLET. 



LOfltl 



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. 



Lost! 



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, 



Blcepeth he. 



Lost I 



In ocean's foam and frost, 



Lost at sea ! 



And no tear falls o'er their grave, 

 But the restless ocean wave 

 Roams o'er monarch and o'er slave 



In its glee. 



Lost! 



The ones wo have loved most. 



Lost at sea! 



For they may not walk the shore. 

 When some long, long voyage Is o'er, 

 And they, with us no more 



Bend the knee. 



Lost! 



And pallid bands are crossed, 



Lost at sea ! 



And maidens' eyes are dim, 

 And mothers' eyes o'erbrim 

 As they sadly think of him 



In the sea. 



Lost! 



They are a mighty host, 



Lost at seal 



And the waves say with their moan, 

 I am monarch all I own 

 Tis to me they all have gone, 



Gone to me.
