Are they risen from the graves — Those dark figures clad as braves, Of the dusk)' tribal hosts, That of old possessed these coasts? Swift they glide from neath the trees The ill-fated stores to seize. Noiselessly with whispered jests. High they heaped the fragrant chests GREENWICH, IN OLD COHANSEY 45 Round the gnarled trunk that still lyit'ts its limbs from yonder hill. And at once a ruddy blaze Skyward leaps and madly plays Snapping, crackling o'er the pyre, Till with patriotic fire, All that ...costly cargo doomed, Unto ashes is consumed. Back the ship drifts through the haze And the figures with the blaze. Fade and vanish from the night, And the moon swells clear and bright. Kiist a slender silver line. Then Diana's bow divine; Quarter, half, three-quarters, till All the heavens seem to fill. As the orb's full rounded girth, ': Like a bubble, quits the earth. LyO ! the lights by twos and threes Fade amid the village trees — From the narrow casement fade Till no mortal beams invade With their keen and curious light.
