Then the maiden clasped her hands and prayed That savfed she might be ; And she thought of Christ who stilled tiie wave, On tlie lake of Galilee. 3q5 ballads of THE BRAVE. And fast through the midnight dark and drear, Through the whistling sleet and snow, Like a sheeted ghost, the vessel swept Towards the reef of Norman's Woe.
