Line ne'er fathomed, eye ne'er scanned: Only that shall shrink and vanish, Summer ocean, idly washing Yielding back the imprisoned land; This gray rock on which I lean ; Yielding back earth's fertile hollows, Summer ocean, broadly flashing Long submerged and hidden plains; With thy hues of gold and green ; Giving up a thousand valleys Gently swelling, wildly dashing Of the ancient world's domains. O'er yon island-studded scene; Leaving still bright azure ranges, Summer ocean, how I'll miss thee, Winding round this rocky tower; Miss the thunder of thy roar, Leaving still yon gem-bright island, Miss the music of thy ripple, Sparkling like an ocean flower. Miss thy sorrow-soothing shore. Leaving still some placid sketches, Summer ocean, how Til miss thee, Where the sunbeams bathe at noon; When " the sea shall be no more." Leaving still some lake-like reaches, Summer ocean, how I'll miss thee, Mirrors for the silver moon. As along thy strand I range ; Only all of gloom and horror, Or, as here I sit and watch thee Idle wastes of endless brine, In thy moods of endless change. Haunts of darkness, storm, and danger; Mirthful moods of morning gladuess, These shall be no longer thine. Musing moods of sunset sadness ; Backward ebbing, wave and ripple, When the dying winds caress thee, Wondrous scenes shall then disclose; And the sinking sunbeams kiss thee, And, like earth's, the wastes of ocean And the crimson cloudlets press thee, Then shall blossom as the rose. And all nature seems to bless thee I Bummer ocean, how Til miss thee, For the Hospital Review. Miss the wonders of thy shore, Miss the magic of thy grandeur, A Voice from the Sea-Side.

As he gently questioned, "What wouldest thou, And what dost thou bring me here ?" All joyously down through the golden field Most eager and loving the answer that came,— The reapers had come with a shout; " I had gone with the reapers at morn, They had cheered each other with word and song, With longing to bring thee such glorious sheaves As their sickles flashed in and out. I, might even, thy palace adorn. And tenderly now fell the day asleep, " But scarcely one hour I wrought with the rest, As they heard the Master call Ere I fell by the wayside alone; Through the starlit silence *" Enter ye in, With fevered brow and pain-racked frame My reward is waiting for all." I lay till the morning was done. The palace shone out on the happy night " Sweet children passed with their sickles small— With its windows all aflame, They would reap for the King, they said— Its radiant portals swinging wide, I showed them whither the reapers had gone, With welcome for all who came. And blessed them as they sped. With bannered sheaves, with the trumpet's voice, " But when in the noontide's sultry hour With the marching of eager feet, The fever and pain were done, The train swept in through the golden gates, The rust, alas, my sickle had spoiled And up to the royal seat. And the strength of my youth was gone. But lo, far off in the harvest field, " Par off I could see the victorious ones Weary and sad and so late, With the flash of their blades so keen, With a single sheaf there lingered one But no words could reach them, and there alone, Still striving to reach the gate.

And a cry went up from his sorrowful soul, "0 Master, tarry for me, Then the King rose up from his throned seat, 0 shut not the gates whence the glory streams, With a face most sweet to see, My weary heart breaketh for thee." "They also serve, who suffer," he said, "Their reward is still with me." At last to the banqueting hall he came, So lagged and old and worn, "Thy sheaf may be small, but thy love was His only treasure, the one bright sheaf, great— On his poor, bent shoulders borne.
