And then——Ah, me! a cloud is o'er the sun,

The breeze is cold, and life has lost its charm;

The song has ceased—the maid has gone and left

The Sketch unfinished, and the Sketcher sad!


[ON BOARD THE "GLADYS."]

L

Fresh briny breezes are blowing so free;

Never once thinking of longi—or lati—tude,
