High on the lichened ledges, like A lonely sea-fowl on its perch Blown by the cold sea-winds, it stands, Old Gosport's quaint forsaken church. No sign is left of all the town Except a few forgotten graves j ON STAR ISLAND. 349 But to and fro the white sails go Slowly across the glittering waves ; And summer idlers stray about With curious questions of the lost And vanished village, and its men, Whose boats by these same waves were tossed, Their eyes on week-days sought the church, - Their sures...t landmark, and the guide That led them in from far at sea, Until they anchored safe beside The harbor wall that braved the storm With its resistless strength of stone. Those busy tishers all are gone : The church is standing here alone. But still I hear their voices strange, And still I see the people go Over the ledges to tlieir homes, — The bent old women's footsteps slow ; The faithful parson stop to give Some timely word to one astray ; The little children hurrying on Together, chattering of their play.
