ORIGINAL POETRY. SONGS. Do you recall one autumn night We stood by the sea-side, And marked a little vessel tost Upon the foaming tide?

The shoals were rough, the winds were high, Wild was the billow's roar; The little vessel reeled, yet still Steered for, and gained the shore.

And thus my heart—however light You deem that heart to be— By all the storm and change of life Cannot be turned from Thee!
