That pass'd over,--and this may, too!

That pass'd over,--and this may, too!

That pass'd over,--and this may, too!

FROM 'THE WANDERER'

Oft-times the Wanderer waiteth God's mercy,

Sad and disconsolate though he may be,

Far o'er the watery track must he travel,

Long must he row o'er the rime-crusted sea--
