THE RHYME OF THE HILDA. 
When darkness fell on the stormy sea one wild Novem¬ 
ber day, 
With anchor down off Gosport town, the good ship 
Hilda lay; 
She hailed from where the palm trees grow and the 
golden sands roll fast. 
And the warm wind roves through the bamboo groves 
when the burning day is pas,t. 
Her Captain stood on the slippery deck and peered 
through the mist and rain 
To where a light through the darkening night across 
the water came; 
For the Hilda was a slaveship bold and she was laden 
fair, 
And ’twould ill-betide the trade she plied if they found 
her anchored there. 
But the Captain knew that a ship was near and he' 
cursed the storm on the deep; 
For he dared not sail in the driving gale to rock in 
the tempest’s sweep; 
And he swore by the fiends that ride the storm and 
shriek on the sounding blast, 
That he would not stow his load below if he swung 
from his own topmast. 
So he bade his sailors nail down the door and fill the 
hatches tight, 
While the Angel of Death ■ with his flaming breath 
sweeps low in his downward flight; 
But the ship that sailed from the port that night held 
her course on the storm-tossed tide; 
Her sheet was wet with the gray foam fleck as she 
passed the Hilda wide. 
And the Captain laughed a bitter laugh as he tore up 
the narrow door; 
For a hundred men in the choking pen lay stiff on the 
slimy floor; 
And they dropped them into the rocking dark beneath 
the sweeping sky; 
And the birds that soar above ocean’s roar saw the 
souls of the dead go by. 
That night when the loud winds held their peace and 
the stars shone dim and pale, 
With prow toward home, as she rose on the foam, the 
Hilda lifted sail; 
Her Captain stood on her deck again and looked back 
o’er the cold black waves; 
And the dead men all, at an unheard call, arose from 
their watery graves. 
And the Captain saw in the Hilda’s wake, as she made 
toward the open sea, 
A long black line, on the ruffled brine, of dead men 
swimming free; 
Not a sound they made the livelong night, as with even 
stroke they swam; 
And no one knows the Hilda’s woes nor knows the 
course she ran. 
But now, at close of a stormy day off sea by Gosport 
town, 
When the shadows sweep across the deep and the dark¬ 
ened sun goes down, 
When a gray mist hangs on the heavy waves and the 
dull winds moan and sigh, 
Across the chill and dreary waste a phantom ship goes 
by. 
Her hull is green with the slimy moss that spawns in 
the Southern seas, 
Her spars are old and rough with mold, her torn sails 
float in the breeze; 
But a shadowy figure walks her deck and looks back 
o’er the rolling main, 
And behind her come, swimming, one by one, a silent, 
ghastly train.
