WIND AND SEA SONGS.

Oiil Tho sea sings a wonderful song. And one that is dilferent each day. For sometimes the Sea-song is lullaby - low, A rhyme of the ripples that run to and fro. A song of the sunshine, of foam white as snow, A song sung in lace-trails of spray. And sometimes the Sea-song is angry,' A song of dismay and of fear. It tells of the Tempest that lashes and raves, And rides on the crest of high mountainous waves, That scorn to be still, as the sailorman craves. This Sea-song is dreadful to hear. Oh! the wind sings a wonderful songr As over the wide world he blows. A song of green tree-tops that beno at his will, Of valley and upland, of river and hill, Of day-dawning golden, of night sweet and still. Such happy-sad songs the wind know£ It’s grand to look over the sea, With wind whirling wild through your hair, And fill your ears full of each beau-' tiful song, I To help and refresh you, when things have gone wrong; They’ll give you new courage to cheer yon along, And blow away all your despair.
