This was te havo been my wedding day It was to liavi: been, u!i me! Coiild it on!y have been lliis moruing I (vent out as the day was dawning. To take my last look at the seaj j Gaily I srumtered down to the sliore, My future spemed all to bright ; Litt'.o l tbóóght, ns I watclied the tiue The sim er tlie waters threw, I should wish I were dead ere uight. Storniy and boUtorous had boen the wind, The wild ivavos were still at play : Wliat was tlie form that layon the beach Above wliore the longest wave could reacli, But drenclied by each dasli of the spray 3 A doath-like chili carao over my haart, T&irs carne to me thiek and fast; I stumbled over tlie yieldiug sands, At each step groping vvith outstretthcd hands, Till I iell by bis side at last. Ko need to (juestion the garb lie wears, Upturned ia tho doar, dead lace: Jly love, my husbaud that was to be- You are gone then, and the cruel Sea Has leít this dead form in your place ! Blowly I raiseiiis head to my breast - Oh how heavily it lies ! It was bright wlth love but yesterday, With loTe for me ; but the drenehing spray Has ivashed the love-Mght from his eyes. And I was to bc his wife, to-iiight ïlis hoiu-t my pillow should be ; A braicUo!' seaweed has got my place. And no biiiile comes lo the palé cold face As I lling the weed in the sea. I lay my oiieek to my dead love's lips, That have kissed mino o'er and o'er Vainly 1 wcitry the air withcrics, For nauglit but the Bioanmg Sea replies Witb sad " Nevor more, never more." -Temple Bar.
