SHIP AHOY!
'Tis a moment of gladness-
A summons ofjoy,
When the man on the lookout
Cries out, "ship ahoy!"
But that pleasure is heig ghtened
The moment he sees,
The star-spangIed banner -
Unfurled 10 the breezc
From the land of our fathers
The wanderer comes,
And kind thoughts and wishes
She brings from our homes;
From the lov'd ones we cherish
To memory dear,
She brings recollections


Our spirits to cheer.
Der the oceans bright pillows,
Haste! haste! on thy way!
And cheer by thy presence
Our spirits to day
May the vision long looked for,
Appear on the seas,
In the " star-spangled banner
That floats in the breeze
Honolulu, Jan. 90, 184l. E. O. II.
