Where, like incense, on the morning Went up the cabin smoke. The tall oaks bowed before thee. Like reeds before the blast; And the earth put forth in gladness. Where the axe in triumph passed. Then hail ! thou noble conqueror ! That, when tyranny oppressed. Hewed for our fathers from the wild A land wherein to rest. Hail, to the power that giveth The bounty of the soil. And freedom, and an honoured name. To the hardy sons of toil ! Digitized by Google MARY E. HEWITT. 157 GOD BLESS THE MARINER. ...God's blessing on the Mariner! A venturous life leads he — What reck the landsmen* of their toil, Who dwell upon the sea? The landsman sits within his home, His fireside bright and warm; Nor asks how fares the mariner All night amid the storm. God bless the hardy Mariner! A homely garb wears he, And he goeth with a rolling gait, Like a ship upon the sea. He hath piped the loud " ay, ay, sir !'' O'er the voices of the main. Till his deep tones have the hoarseness Of the rising hurricane. His seamed and honest visage The sun and wind have tanned.
