Excerpt from On the Ebb: A Few Log-Lines From an Old Salt
Let day improve on day, and year on year, Without a pain, a trouble or a fear, Til] death unfelt that tender frame destroy In some soft dream, or ecstacy Of joy; Peaceful sleep out the Sabbath of the tomb, And wake to raptures in a life to come.
