BALLAD.

1.

WHEN the sky is black above, and the billows white below,
And between the foaming swells we are lab'ring to and fro;
When waves they roar beneath us, and thunders roll o'er head,
O think ye not, ye landsmen! it is a scene of dread?

But dreadful though it be, yet it cannot us appal,

For we feel Affection pours her prayers, and mercy hears them all.

2.

When the ship is on her beams, and the masts are all a wreck,
And, to 'scape the angry surge, we are lash'd upon the deck,
When night is closing fast, and no sign of succour near,
O think ye not, ye landsmen! it is a scene of fear?

But fearful though it be, yet it cannot us appal,

For we trust Affection pours her prayer, and mercy hears them all.

3.

But see, the morn approaching, a vessel heaves in sight,
The waves are sinking once again, the breezes they are light,
She sees our waving signal, and swiftly beareth down,
The red cross is her flag, and her country is our own;

With pleasure then, ye landsmen! our dangers we recall,

For we know Affection pour'd her prayers, and mercy hear them all!

VERSES

TO THE MEMORY OF DR JOHN LEYDEN.

WHERE sleep the brave on Java's strand,
Thy ardent spirit, Leyden! fled,
And fame with cypress shades the land
Where genius fell and valour bled.

When triumph's tale is westward borne,
On Border hills no joy shall gleam;
And thy loved Tiviot long shall mourn
The youthful Poet of her stream.

W. M. T.

Near Jura's rocks the Mermaid's strain
Shall change from sweet to solemn lay;
For he is gone, the stranger swain,
Who sung the Maid of Colonsay.

The hardy tar, Britannia's pride,
Shall hang his manly head in woe;
The Bard who told how Nelson died,
With harp unstrung, in earth lies low.

I see a weeping band arise,
I hear sad music on the gale;
Thy dirge is sung from Scotia's skies,
Her mountain sons their loss bewail.

The Minstrel of thy native north
Pours all his soul into the song;
It bursts from near the winding Forth,
And Highland rocks the notes prolong.

Yes, he who struck a matchless lyre
O'er Flodden's field and Katrine's wave,
With trembling hand now leads the choir
That mourn his Leyden's early grave.
