More bright—bless'd, too, as emblem of her love

 "Hist! Hist!" They'd cry: and straight the plash of oar, And creak cf sail were stilled; And every ear Was tent to catch the strains her sweet voice trilled. Avast to gloomy thoughts and boding fear! Alack the day when she should witch their hearts no more! 

"Hist! Hist!" They'd cry: and straight the plash of oar,

And creak cf sail were stilled;

And every ear

Was tent to catch the strains her sweet voice trilled.

Avast to gloomy thoughts and boding fear!

 

 

 Rowena's Song. 

 Sea, sea, Bounding and free, O soothe me to sleep with thy sweet lullaby! As when a child, Sportive and wild, Thy waves and I gamboll'd, thou gem-crested sea! 

Sea, sea,

Bounding and free,

As when a child,

Sportive and wild,

 Sea, sea, Laugh on in glee; How dear to the sailor thy sweet monody! Soul-soothing calm, Soul-healing balm, For hearts beating fondly for hearts on the sea! 

Sea, sea,

Laugh on in glee;

Soul-soothing calm,

Soul-healing balm,
