I have heard thee sigh.


ODE FOR A MASTER MARINER ASHORE

THERE in his room, whene’er the moon looks in,

And silvers now a shell, and now a fin,

And o’er his chart glides like an argosy,

Quiet and old sits he.

Danger! he hath grown homesick for thy smile.

Where hidest thou the while, heart’s boast,
