But see ! The ensign's at the peak, A passing ship they're going to speak. Ha ! ha ! Their longitude is right, SHANDY MAGUIRE. 219 And soon they'll have the beach in sight. The frenzied glances of the crew Can't penetrate the hazy hue Which settles on the ocean's breast, Until the sun glides down the west, And sends bright beams athwart the sky Through vapors dense that on it lie. Eight bells are tolled. The watch is called. The ground-gear now is overhauled ; The anchors catted on the rail, Bu...t, hark ! what means that joyous hail ? "Land ho ! " the look-out wildly cries, "Land ho ! " the second mate replies. The captain with his glass now goes Aloft to see its shape disclose, He sings his orders quick and clear, And tells the wheelsman how to steer, For Sand3 ;r Hook is drawing near, And soon they'll be with kindred dear, On well remember 'd ground. They drive away all frenzied fear, Care from their bosoms disappear ; They dash him on his ghostly bier, Without a pang, without a tear ; Suspense gives way to joy sincere, For they are homeward bound.
