To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The roofs and towers of the ancient town Grew black with the dark mist swooping down ; All day it surged, like a tidal wave, And the hearts of the people, so true and brave, Beat quick with fear. Down came the night, With never a star, and the sea was white I O wives and mothers, so far away, God temper the grief of this fatal day.
When the twain were drowned 'ueath the frowning bluff Of Sankotv's headland — it was sad enouoh.
Where Muskeaet's channel cleaves its wav.
Just out of our Island's p...eaceful bay, A captain's wife, himself and crew, All lost, with the friendly laud in view.
Save one ; he survived, the tale to tell ; (Thanksgiving for those who loved him well !) But 'Scouset saw a cruel sight : The mocking rage of the " Old Man's " might ; POEMS OF NANTUCKET. 35 8tood, aud beheld withiu their reach. Be3-ond the surf of the long Low Beach, A sinking vessel — " God pity the men I " The terrible shoal devourino- them then. Aud many a craft, with a tattered sail, Went down in the merciless wave and aale : And mauv a man was lost that uioht, With never a star, when the sea i>rew white !
