THE BEAUTIFUL BARQUE!
Beautiful Barque!—Beautiful Barque!
Thou dost pierce through the sea like a star thro' the dark,
Rejoicing thou runnest thy gladsome race,
And behind thee thou leav'st but a faint faint trace,
Yet thou leavest a deeper trace ev'n there
Than the wanderers of earth on her bosom fair!
Thou dost pierce through the sea like a star thro' the dark,
Rejoicing thou runnest thy gladsome race,
And behind thee thou leav'st but a faint faint trace,
Yet thou leavest a deeper trace ev'n there
Than the wanderers of earth on her bosom fair!
Beautiful Barque, o'er the billows sent,
Wild energy seems to thy motion lent,
Beneath thee the wave never resting flows,
Thou may'st not a moment delay in repose;
Yet thy restlessness is as repose, to the strife
Of those who are tossed on these dark waves of life!
Wild energy seems to thy motion lent,
Beneath thee the wave never resting flows,
Thou may'st not a moment delay in repose;
Yet thy restlessness is as repose, to the strife
Of those who are tossed on these dark waves of life!
