But see, the waves are rippling ;
See, see they creep along !
The distant breeze is breathing
Its hollow ocean-song.
Oh ! day may fade aronnd us,
We need its beams no more ;
A dearer light is waiting
To welcome us on shore.
HARK, THE LARK IS UP.
Hark ! the lark is up,
The first sweet bird of Spring,
High, and yet more high still.
And gaily carolling.
Earth hath not yet one blossom,
By fountain, bower, or brake ;
Yet loud, more loud, he warbles,
As if to bid them wake.
Thus in fancy bright,
He sees each opening flower.
And by anticipation
Lives twice each sunny hour.

To welcome us on shore.
