Table of Contents

I.

Table of Contents

Now

that the wind is tamed and broken,

And day gleams over the lea,

Row, row, for the one you love

Was out on the raging sea:

Row, row, row,

Sturdy and brave o’er the treacherous wave,

Hope like a beacon before,

Row, sailor, row

Out to the sea from the shore!

II.

Table of Contents

O, the oar that was once so merry,

O, but the mournful oar!

Row, row; God steady your arm

To the dark and desolate shore:

Row, row, row,

With your own love dead, and her wet gold head

Laid there at last on your knee,

Row, sailor, row,

Back to the shore from the sea!

HEMLOCK RIVER.

Table of Contents

On

that river, where their will is,

Grow the tranquil-hearted lilies;

In and out, with summer cadence,

Brown o’erbrimming waters slide;

Shade is there and mossy quiet,—

O but go thou never nigh it!

Ghosts of three unhappy maidens

Float upon its bosom wide.
