398 POBM.S OJ' CH.,II.ACTZa, .t.JIID Ml8CZLL..l1BOOS.Midnight-and at111 the atorm raged ~atbfully and loud,
And deep in the trough of the bea-ring eea, labollr'd tbt" Teasel
proud;
There was darkness all e.ronnd, a ave wb~e lighto ing Baahealteen
Play'd on the ueata of the broken wavea, &!ld lit the deptba
between.Around her and below, the wa.ste or waten ro&r'd,
~\nd anawer'd the cra.sll of tbe falling lll,$8tl as they cut them
oYer board,
At eTety billow's shock, her qo.i'fering timbers atrain;
And u abe roae on a cre~ted waTe, that aLrange ship paaa'd
again.And o'er that stormy aea ahe fiew before the gale,
Yet she bad not 1tro.clt her ligbteet 1par, nor turl'd her lof\ieet
nil.
Another blinding lluh, and nearer yet she .-'d,
And a pale blne ligM along her sai1a and o'er ber rigging
gleam'd.But it show'd no aeaman'a form, no baud her colU'IIe to guide i
And to their aignala of distreea, the wana alone replied.
The Phantom Ship pus'd on, driven o'er her path leu way,
Bot helplellsly the smiting \vreclt amid the brealtera lay.1'he angry tempest ceased, the winds were buah'd to 8 le41P,
And calm and bright the sun again shone oo.t upon the deep.
But that gallant ship· DO more ab&ll roam the ooean free;
She has reacb'd her final bi.TeD, beneath t.he d&rlt.blu\lle&.
A,nd many a hardy aeaman, who fean nor atonn nor fighi 1
Yet tremblee when tbe Phantom Ship driv.ee put bia watch cu
night;
For it augurs death and danger: It bodes a watery gra..-e,
Wilh aea·weeda for bil pillow-for his shroud, the wandering
wa"e.
