6j THE MUSICAL REPOSITORY.
When rocks appear on ev'ry fide,
And art is rain the fhip to guide,
In varied fliapes when death appears,
The thoughts of thee nrj'- bofom cheers :
The troubled main.
The wind and rain,
My ardent paflion prove ;
Lafll'd to the helm,.
Shou'd feas o'erwhelm,
I'd think on thee my love.
But fhou'd the gracious pow'rs be kindj
Difpel the gloom and ftill the wind.
And waft me to thy arms once -more,
Safe to my long-loft native (hore ;
No more the main
I'd tempt again,
But tender joys improve ;
I then with thee
Shou'd happy be.
And think oh nought but love.
