Then from the yacht, discourse to sue, Gay streamers as a signal flew ; And sail made short and helm aport, Straight the American hove-to. MEETING AND PARTING. 159 No need repeat the well-known tale, How in that ship the exiles sail, Consigned, by Ferdinand's command, From Spain to far Columbia's land, Where they, indeed, in freedom's name, Blithe welcome from her sons might claim, But, once the tyrant's leash they slip, With one accord they seize the ship, And shape her course due west before ...For England's nearer northern shore. Now on the deck were ranged the crew, For ready service all at hand, Where'er the captain gave command, And round, in groups, the exiles drew, A haggard and a woe-worn band, Whose faces still displayed the hue 160 MEETING AND PARTING. The terrors of the dungeon threw, And stamped as with a searing brand Sad, solemn, mystically grand, And looking like the soul's adieu To every hope and every aim Its mortal sympathies might claim. One of the number sat apart A man advancing into years; And there was mirrored in the tears, That ever to his eyes would start, The image of a broken heart: A lonely man, wrapped in his sorrows, And kindred fellowship of horrors Like some old house that, by report, Become a restless ghost's resort MEETING AND PARTING.
