Gaily footing It midst the surf,
Softer than the softest turf;
Who so merry, so merry as we ?
Who so wild, or half so free ?
What care we for the wild wave's foam ;
Is it not part of our ocean home ?
What care we that the tempest's sonnd
The sinking mariner's shriek hasdrewn'd?
Are they not sounds that we hear every day ?
Are they not visions that soon melt away ?
Gaily tripping it, &c.
BOATMAN'S CATCH FOE THUEE VOICES.
To pluck the rose the nut the ber-ry.
