Excerpt from The Poetical Works of Lucy Larcom

Sailing away! Losing the breath of the shores in May, Dropping down from the beautiful bay, Over the sea-mpe vast and gray! And the skipper's eyes with a mist are blind; For a vision comes on the rising wind, Of a gentle face that he leaves behind, And a heart that throbs through the fog-bank Thinking of him.

Far into night, He watches the gleam of the lessening light Fixed on the dangerous island height, That bars the harbor he loves from sight And he wishes, at dawn, he could tell the tale Of how they had weathered the southwest gale, TO brighten the cheek that had grown so pale With a wakeful night among spectres grim, Terrors for him.
