O Come! The Waves Are Calling 
By Rorert J. MILNE. 
Oh come the waves are calling, 
Nor tarry on the way, 
The summer sun is shining down 
With golden rays to-day. 
Our years are short, but sweet is life 
Along the Northern Shore, 
And the glorious hours now passing by 
May come our way no more.

Oh come the waves are calling, 
Along the Northern Shore. 
There’s new delight in every scene, 
What could you wish for more; ~ 
There’s health and life in every breeze 
That blows from off the sea | 
To cool the fevered aching brow 
And fill your soul with glee. 
Oh come the waves are calling, 
There’s joy in every tone, 
The air is filled with laughter, 
The Winter months have flown. 
So do not miss the pleasure, 
‘Too soon ’twill pass away; 
Oh come the waves are calling, 
Enjoy them while you may.
