“My Crest is a Smiling Tear Drop.”
(Alapted from the German of Heine,)

STORM AT SEA.
1
Muffed in |their gray cloud-mantles,
Ali the gods above are Bnoring;
Thev are far above the tempest,
Brt down here tbe storm is roaring
Stojtm Is roaring, winds are raging;
siips are vamly eeeking qaarterB;
Whj> could bridle such a tempest,
Op those masterless great waters?
I at) least can not. The billows,
' As tor me, the deck may cumber.
Like the gods, I’ll draw my mantle
Round my limbB, and soundly
slumber.
The wakened wind in wrath pulls on
His great trunk-hose of foam;
The waves he layed his lash upon
Before him raging come.
With mighty roar the dark clouds pour
A deluge of wild rain;
The Ancient Night Ib laboring sore
To drown the Ancient Main.
A spectral sea-mew screams on high
Above the reeling mast;
jTer harpy shrleklngs seem to cry
That Death rides on the blast.
Che wind begins dance-music;
There’s joy in the roaring flight;
Che good ship leaps in answer
Hurrah! for a mad gay night!
Che swelling hills of the waters
Form with a mighty hiss;
Co windward gleam their summits,
On the lea a black abyss.
knd ; 'jlso, puking and praying
In the passenger cabia is heard.
; oling to a ma*t and wonder
Why 1 ever came aboard,
Leonard Doughty.
