<h5 id="id00715"> NIGHT AND MORNING.</h5>
<p id="id00716"> The winds are piping loud to-night,<br/>
And the waves roll strong and high;<br/>
God pity the watchful mariner<br/>
Who toils 'neath yonder sky!<br/></p>
<p id="id00717"> I saw the vessel speed away,<br/>
With a free, majestic sweep,<br/>
At evening as the sun went down<br/>
To his palace in the deep.<br/></p>
<p id="id00718"> An aged crone sat on the beach,<br/>
And, pointing to the ship,<br/>
"She'll never return again," she said,<br/>
With a scorn upon her lip.<br/></p>
<p id="id00719"> ———</p>
<p id="id00720"> The morning rose tempestuous,<br/>
The winds blew to the shore,<br/>
There were corpses on the sands that morn,<br/>
But the ship came nevermore!<br/></p>
