Neath the shadow of his wing

Dedication

to those whose

loving hearts,

tender to the

I. Aurora

On an ocean's bosom bright and blue,

In a land not far away, A beautiful ship with a joyous crew

Was gliding peacefully.

And afar to the prow, under cloudless skies,

As they bounded away from the shore, Stood a strong, young lad with glistening eyes,

Ever eagerly looking before.

No tears were there as are wont to be, No sorrowful heaving breast;

So BTBATH THE SHADOW OF HIS WIIf&.

No sigh for the home he would long to see,

Where oft he would long to rest.

For he thought of the heavens bright and blue,

Of the ocean wild and free, And he thought of the ship so staunch and true,

And he dreamed of the untried sea.
