202 THE WHALE AND 



Park Benjamin's Song for the cheery Mariner. 



GOD keep those cheery mariners ! 



And temper all the gales 

 That sweep against the rocky coast 



To their storm-shattered sails ; 

 And men on shore will bless the ship 



That could so guided be, 

 Safe in the hollow of His hand, 



To brave the mighty sea !
