" Then said another, aghast, " Deep in the deep sea s waste, When by the wild skies tossed Ocean cried out as if lost ! I saw this same wonderful form Borne in the arms of the storm, And laugh with a shrill thrilling glee Over wrath of the sky and the sea. " Howbeit some ships sailing West With faint and irresolute helm 110 POEMS FROM THE PACIFIC And doubts that did nigh overwhelm, Mid blank barren searchings for Rest . . Saw this Token flash forth from the sky, And without asking whither nor w...hy Since surely a Pilot was given As the Sign of the pleasure of Heaven Strained on like glad hounds through the deep In the wake of the star-lighted leap. And she led them this Pilot of Peace To Liberty s land of release, Where heel never smote the free soul . . Or daring to t^e its foul tread, Had died with the things that are dead, Or blended with death in the scroll That Life had since worshiped and wed And won to immortal control. And lo, everywhere ! everywhere ! Upon the magniloquent shore, AVith its boiling and coiling and roar Upon the weird wings of the air, Afar on the precipice bare, Or near on the rock-broken sod, This presence discovered her trace Like a smile from a heavenly face, As the land were her darling abode ; And secure in a Genius of might, In a Guardian-Goddess-of-Light, The band grappled hard to the strife That prophesied^ Glory and Life !
