And the loved one all together!

By Man than comes of music.

Come when you’re looked for, or come without warning.

As our souls flow in one down eternity’s river.

    A life on the ocean wave!
  A home on the rolling deep,
Where the scattered waters rave,
  And the winds their revels keep!
Like an eagle caged I pine
  On this dull unchanging shore:
Oh give me the flashing brine,
  The spray and the tempest’s roar!

A Life on the Ocean Wave.

  The window-panes are white;
The snow whirls through the empty streets;
  It is a dreary night!

The Heart’s Summer.
