Hark ! swift piercing th' raging storm comes the Tocsin's ringing peal, 57 And hurrying 'mid the gloomy night, dusky looming forms quick steal The street's dim flickering shadows 'mong, till out on th' blustering beach they reel — Gasping wrack-laden blasts amid, sternly determined woe or weal God's raging elements to dare, and utmost strength put forth to save The good ship's living, dreading freight, from a ghastly ocean grave. Struggling, bending 'fore the blast, safely the life-boat house i...s won, And quick, 'mid light of glimmering lamps, brave hearts her to the beach have run ; Here, grim rugged-featured forms, strength ply again, and yet again, Till th' buoyant, providence kept craft, is urged on th' heaving foaming main. Tossed, hurled wild ocean's throes amid, briefly she's seen, then down from sight, 58 Deep in ocean's boiling vortex; swift she speeds thro' tempest's night, On mercy's noble errand bent, while landsmen trembling in afright Peer in the seething roaring gloom, and fearing, pray for morning light.
