 A Young Hero.

A Young Hero.

ON Labrador, like coils of flame

That clasp the walls of blazing town,

The long, resistless billows came,

And swept the craggy headlands down;

Till ploughing in strong agonies

Their furrows deep into the land,

They carried rocks, and bars of sand

Past farthest margin of old seas,

And in their giant fury bore

Full thirty crowded craft ashore.

That night they pushed the darkness through,

O’er rocks where slippery lichens grew,

And swamps of slime and melted snow,
