Ci)e §?un flangs tije 0ttm XHE sun hangs over the ocean Like a ruby, glowing red; A halo of crimson waters Is crowning the ocean’s head; The clouds, like a scarlet curtain, Are veiling the couch of the sun, And he drifts thro’ the rifts of evening, For his royal race is run. XHE sun, like a ruby shattered, Drops into the burnished sea, And the kiss on the sky of purple Is only a memory. A boat with a cargo of moonbeams, With radiant rays for shrouds, Is sailing to islands of golden clouds And touching the continent clouds. XHIS olden galleon with silken sails, And its mast a golden gleam, Has the wealth of old in its treasure hold — The gold of a baby’s dream. Its image is glassed in the emerald main, And it ploughs the placid sea, But the vanished gleams of my baby dreams Will never return to me. AH! would that the dream would quiver Again on the soul of the sea, And the ripples kissed with moonlight Were thrilling with ecstasy! Ah! would that the trembling ocean Were lipping the silver sand! Ah! would that the molten ripples Again were fairyland! P. H. L.
