First entered the mother, enfolding her child:
It knew she caressed it, looked[16] upward and smiled.
Cold, cold was the night as they drifted away,
And mistily dawned o’er the pathway the day—
And they prayed for the light, and at noontide about,
The sun[16] o’er the waters shone joyously out.
“Ho! a sail![7] Ho! a sail!” cried the man at the lee,
“Ho! a sail!”[7] and they turned their glad eyes o’er the sea.
“They see us, they see us,[21] the signal is waved!
They bear down upon us, they bear down upon us: Huzza! we are saved.”
