THE WILD WAVES TOSS THE DRIFTWOOD HIGH.
The wild waves toss the driftwood highUpon the rocks or gleaming sandsAnd there in scattered sort they lie,The spoils of many distant lands.
And now and then a pleading face,In mute appeal to God, is turned,In which we seek in vain to traceThe perished thought that glowed and burned.
And once I saw upon the sandsA baby with bright golden hair;Clinched were the darling's little handsAnd on its lips a smile was there.
