THE C O X T E S T . XV. And now a little band, gathering on deck, Discourse in turn each venture that befalls Upon the sea or land, of storm, and wreck, Battles, and fires, and phantom ships ; now call> One for a song. The lot is cast, and falls Upon an aged seaman, one whose strong But bended form, and hoary locks, the squalls Of many years had weathered : Thus his song He sung, the while the crew to hoar around 1 him throng : 1 " Oh ! a blithe old bark is this frame of ours, As it sails on th...e ocean of years, And breasts, in the pride of its varied powers, Its billows of hopes and fears. Blithely away, at the break of day, It speeds from the misty shore, And grandly it rides o'er the swelling tides, To the sound of the ocean's roar ; But when, in the West, sinks the sun to rest, And his ray gilds the horizon's verge, Like a phantom of night, it sinks from sight, And is lost in the boundless surge ; THE CONTEST. 83 And whether it land on some far oft* strand, Or sink in the depths below, To eternal sleep, in the fathomless deep* No mortal shall ever know.
