And with our treasure keep our hearts on high;

The spirit meek, and yet by pain unshaken,

The faith, the love, the lofty constancy—

Guide us where these are with our sister flown:

They were of Thee, and thou hast claim’d thine own!

THE SOUND OF THE SEA.

Thou art sounding on, thou mighty sea!

For ever and the same;

The ancient rocks yet ring to thee—

Those thunders naught can tame.
