As I carelessly walked by the sea, one day, I passed by a boatman who quietly lay Upon the warm sand with his rod by his side, A boat anchored near on the rippling' tide. Why did he lie there so idle, and wait ? Were there no fishes to catch with his bait ? Ah me ! Why did the boatman wait! A maiden swung lightly her hammock near by, Her ringlets were golden, her eyes like the sky, A song, like an echo of love, filled the air, As pure as the morning, as trustful as prayer. Adown by the sea rocked the boat to and fro, The waves were alight with the sun's afterglow. Ah me ! Why sang the maiden so low ! At eve I returned from my walk by the cliff, Two lovers I saw as they entered the skiff. The stars were now glinting and dimpling above, The pines were still sighing their vespers of love, The moonbeams were thrusting their darts through the tree Where the hammock was swinging — now idle and free. Ah me ! Two lovers were gliding on over the sea. HAPPENINGS. .
