Excerpt from Secrets in Every Mansion: A Scottish Record Secrets in every Mansion. The silver-crested moon pours on the Swelling tide her placid light, the helmsman Cheerly sings, while on the polar star, in Steadfast gaze, his eve is fix'd. Then home, and Perils past, employ the thoughts of all the Busy crew. One hapless wretch avoids the Noisy throng, and sad and lonely sits apart, And chides the prosp'rous gale, and as the land Recedes from sight, drops tears of anguish in The rolling waves. The frighted moon veils her bright head, Whale the dark spirit of the storm sails on His cloudy throne along the troubled sky. Hark! his desolating breath howls through the Rattling shrouds, thrown from his hand, the flaming Light'ning splits the shiv'ring mast. Ah! hapless Wretches! all around is desolation, Wee, and death. Bless you, man! she was sav'd by miracle - Preserv'd in the midst of storms and tempests, Like a pearl in an oyster shell. H.
