THE LAND BEYOND THE SEA. 235
THE LAND BEYOND THE SEA.
The Land beyond the Sea!
When will life's task be o'er?
When shall we reach that soft blue shore,
O'er the dark strait whose billows foam and roar?
When shall we come to thee,
Calm Land beyond the Sea?
The Land beyond the Sea !
How close it often seems,
When flushed with evening's peaceful gleams;
And the wistful heart looks o'er the strait, and dreams !
It longs to fly to thee,
Calm Land beyond the Sea!
