OUT ON THE SEA.
- Tin a wild and stormy da WO, And my love is out on the sen j There the cold winds shriek and play•Mid the wild waves' foaming spray ( How the qulv'ring vessels sway Out over the bar at sea t Oh I my love on the heaving sea, 'Mid the wild waves' wanton glee, Will he ever come back to mo His babes bow asleep to see ? - Oh, God I bring him home to me. 'Tls a bleak and dismal morn Tor my love far out on tho sea; loud the thunders 'rumbling crash, Bright the fiery lightnings flash. High the green waves shoreward dash** White the mooklng billows splash, As onward the good ships flee. They reel to and fro, ah, me I In the clutch of the cruel Bea— Oh, God I tiring him home to me. •Tis a wild and eerie dawn , For my love on the restless sea— Now the black clouds sullen weep, "While the billows threat'nine sweep Down, to biak them fathoms deep la the tcssinpuseeihing sea, - Oh ! love, coiwe home to your babes asleep | My God, in your care him safely keep 'Mid the perils of the angry deep, And bring him safe home to me 1 ,
