All's Well

ESERTED by the wanning moon, Then skies proclaim night's cheerless noon, in tower, fort, or tented ground, he sentry walks his lonely round, nd should some footstep haply stray, There caution marks the guarded way: Who goes there? Stranger-quickly tell;' A Friend—the word-good night-All's Wall.

r sailing on the midnight deep, While weary messmates soundly sleep, che careful watch patroles the deck, o guard the ship from foes or wreck, nd while his thoughts oft homeward veer, ome well known voice salutes his ear, What cheer ho brother-quickly tell,' Above-Below-good night-All's Well.'

Far, far at Sea

Twas at night, when the bell had toll'd twelve, And poor Suſan was laid on her pillow, her ear whiſperid fome fleeting elve, Your love is now tofa'd on a billow, Far, far at fear.

ll was dark, as ſhe woke out of breath, Not an object her fears could discovery, ll was ſtill as the ſilence of death, Save fancy, which painted her lover, Far, far at ſea.
