- (continued from previous page)One splash and all is over,
The ripples gone, the burials done;
The sea its dead doth cover.
He'll sleep below as well I trow
As if the turf was o'er him,
Till sea and land at God's command,
Give up their dead before Him.
And tho' no friend hath seen his end,
Nor wife hath smoothed his pillow
In death's serene repose I ween
He'll sleep beneath the billow.
Yet far away perhaps are they,
Who think he's now returning,
And yet alas! Long days shall pass
And night's for him in mourning.
