The Home Circle.
[Conducted by LINDA.] THE TWO SHIPS. As I stand by the cross on the lone mountain’s crest, Looking over the ultimate sea, In the gloom of the mountain a ship lies at ' rest, And one sails away from the lea; One spreads its white wings on a far-reach-ing track, With pennant and sheet flowing free : _ One hides in the shadow with sails laid aback, — The ship that is waiting for me. But low, in the distance the clouds break away, The Gates glowing portals I see ; And ! hear from the outgoing ship in the bay The song of the sailors in glee So I think of the luminous footprints that bore The comfort o’er dark Galilee, And wait for the signal to go to the shore, To the ship that is waiting for me, —Bbet Haete.
