SI A GARDENS. fIMKJ BT A WREATH OF HINT COWUWU) MA WEED. Not on dry laiui alone Do plants nml flowers grow, The sea its gardens hath Kb swelling waves below. Its lawns are richly clad With verdure soft and green , Well-gravelled pallia divide Its shell edged plots between. The scene is bright with plants Of many varied hue; And there are rockeries, And tangled thickets tod. These Gardensof the sea, No foot of man e'er trod, Their beauties bloom unseen Save by the eye of God. But though no living men Do walk these parterres fair, Tet many of the dead In cairn repose sleep there. Too oft we think of them, With thoughts so full cl gloom; But have they not there found A sweet, a garden tomb? And lu ! what have we here, Our weeping eyes before? Fair leaves from off their gravel Old ocean casts ashoie. These treasures of the deep Thus weave in chaplets rare • In niem’ry of the dead, In God’s Sea Gardens fair. And till tlio waking morn, Keep, keep, thy dead, 0 Sea; Safer than in thy depths, On eat ill they could not be. And while into thy care Our loved ones we commit, And humbly to God a will Our wills in Ibis submit, Into thy briny breast We'll drop our briny tears, And in thy sympathy Will drown all anxious fears.
