At Sea.
Worn voyagers, who watch for land
Across tbo eiidlovs wastes at sea,
vVlio gaze boforo and 01. each hand,
Why look yo not It what ye flee?
Tho stars by which tho sailors steer,
Not always rise before tho prow j
Tho. forward naught but clouds appoar,
Behind they may be breaking now.
What though we may not turn again
To shores of childhood that wn leave,
Are those old signs we followed valuT
Can guides so oil fouud true deceive?
Ob ! sail we to the south or north,
Oh 1 sail we to the east or west,
The port from which we lirxt put forth
la our hoait's homo, is our life's best.

He went thither accordingly t an old
