WATKINS. llj^LY, my needle, through the drift-yfL-f net, while love sings an evening song;Love can lighten every burden, with loves aid no toil is long. Far at seas my fisher-laddie, but theres sunshine on the deep ;Love misgives, though, darksome night falls ; in its arms care cannot sleep. Grimly smiles the fort this evening ; byits guns the sea-pinks bloom ; With the morning through grey mist-wreaths death in thundrous foammay Many a gallant ship sails outward bound, i|^ and never home comes , returning home in safety, goes to pieces on the shore. Oceans heart is deeply bosomed, but its face is seamed with scars ;Fair of promise, loves beginnings, sunken isles, then reefs and bars. On the rocks rues glory rests, and sway-ing weeds their sternness deck ; Cruel rocks aye in their strength ; see !yonder by them lies a wreck.
