“THE SAILOR’S TEAR.
“He leap’d into the boat,
As it lay upon the strand,
But, oh! his heart was far away
With friends upon the land;
He thought of those he lov’d the best,
A wife and infant dear;
And feeling fill’d the sailor’s breast,
The sailor’s eye—a tear.”
On the outside, are also three engravings. The first is a ship in full sail; the next a border of flowers with a small “world” at top, with the verse:—
“This is a good world to live in,
To lend, or to spend, or to give in,
But to beg or to borrow,
Or to get a man’s own,
It is such a world
As never was known.”
and the third has a border of flowers and the verse:—
“The loss of gold is great,
The loss of health is more.
But losing Christ is such a loss
As no man can restore.”
