When the elements conspire 
Tosweep their deep and awful lyre, 
The rattling thunders, as they fly, 
Complete the dreadful harmony. 
Pity, whither art thou flown ? 
Hast thou left this stormy scene, 
For rivers smooth, and meadows greeny 
Where Peace delights to rear her halcyon 
throne? 
Hither haste, thou being dear ; 
A sight, a moving sight is here: 
The bark that long hath borne the beating 
wave, 
And now behelds her haven near, 
Trembles o’er the yawning graves 
Fly to succour, fly to save! 
Amid the ravings of the gale, 
Fitful calls, upon thee, sail ; 
The warning gun, that doleful sound, 
Speaks, till with the tempest drown’d. 
The storm increases, Bythelight 
Of heaven’s fierce radiance, { behold 
The mariner, once brave and bold, 
Chain’d steadfast to the deck, in strange 
affright 
Through distraction’s starting tear, 
They view their wives and children dear, 
Whom they had fondly hoped ere long to 
greet 
With all a husband’s, all a father’s joy 3 
And taste domestic comforts sweet, 
That end of all their toil, without alloy. 
But now, (whilst those they love, rejoice 
In the bless’d interview at hand, 
And every heart, and every voice,

Already hails them to their native land,) 
They mark th’ unruly sails disdain 
The weak controul of mortal rein, 
Dissever'd, on the blast they see them ride 
Then sink in the conflicting tide. 
Whilst languid hope points to one glimm’ring 
beam, 
Forebodings stern disclose their wretched 
state 5 
They view the sails plunged in the raging 
stream, 
And read their own inevitable fate. 
The lightnings, as they flash, display 
The fatal shore ta*which they onward 
drive ; 
In vain with destiny they onward strive, 
Whilst Ocean fierce invokes his coming prey. 
Now swifter borne before the hurrying blast, 
(Their last brave anchor vainly cast) 
They view, dismay’d, the white waves glare 
at hand, 
Roaring o’er the rocky strand. 
To the near cliffs their course they UTES, 
In dark funereal terrors drest 5 
Ere long, and in the wrathful surge, 
(Tho” Mercy’s cry 
Rend earth and sky,) 
Fach palpitating heart must rest. 
Still nearer now the vessel draws 5 
Fear suspends their labouring breath s 
A horria pause ! 
One moment more, 
The strife is o’er. 
Heard you that shriek ? It was the shriek of 
death.
