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.
