THE SLAVE SHIP.
No surge on the sea,
No cloud was on the day,


when the ship spread her white wings,
Like sea bird on her way.
Ocean lay bright before,


The shore lay green behind,


And breath Of spice and balm
Came the landward wind.
There rose q cursc and wall,
As that vessel left the shore;
And last looks sought their native land,
Which should dwell there no morc
Who seeing the fair ship


That swept through the bright waves,
Would dream that tyrants trod her deck,
And that her freight was slaves
BY day was heard the lash,
BY night the heavy groan;


For the slaves blood was on the chain
That fetered to the bone


Was one in that dark slip,


A prince in his own land;


He scorn'd the chain he scorn'd the threat
fe scorn'd his fettcr'd hand.
lie called up his tribe,


And said they might be Nee!
And his brow was cold and stern,
ne pointed to the sea.


Next night sullcn sound.


Was heard amid the wave!


The tyrlnts sought their cap6ves,-
They only found their grave.
