BEYOND THE SEA.
Upin the tall cliff's cloud-wrapt verge The lonely shepherd sfcandp, And hears the thundering ocean surge ; hat sweeps the far-eff strands, And thinks in peace of raging citorms Where he will never be — Of life in all its unknown forms In lands beyond the sea. So ia our dreams some glimpse appears, Though Boon it fades again, How other lauds or times or spheres Might make us other men ; How half our being lies in trance, Nor j.>y nor sorrow brings, Unless the hand of circumstance Can t',uch the latent stringa. We know not fully what we arc, Still less what we might be, But he*r faint voices from the far Deep lands beyond the sea. —From W. E. H. Lecky'-s Poems.
