[Benjamin Tucker (Ship), of New Bedford, Mass., mastered by Daniel BWood, kept by Daniel AChappell, on voyage from 1849 July 18-1851 June 1] . Price : : : i wo The night was dark aud fearful, The blasts swept wailing by,A Watcher, pale and tearful, Lookd forth with anxious eye3How wishfully, she ga?eth, No gleam of morn is eyes to heaven she raiseth, In agony of prayer. Within that dwelling lonely, Where want and darkness reign,A precious child, her only, Lay moaning in its death alone can free him, She feels that this must be, .But Oh, for morn to see hiin Smile once again on me. A thousand lights are glancing, In yonder mansion fair,And merry feet are dancing, They heed not mourning young and joyous creatures, One lamp from off your store,Would give that poor boys features,To his mothers gaze once more. The morning sun was shining, She heedeth not its ray,Beside her dead reclining, The pale, dead mother lay,A smile her lips were wreathing, A smile of hope and love,As though she still were breathing, Theres light for us above.
