Text Appearing Before Image:
king gently in milky foam.Then returning, again to come;Constant never.Coqueting ever.Trimming with lace the curving shore,With silver fringing it oer and oer;Thus did the waves, one summer night.While we watched them play in the mellow light. The moon looked down on an opal sea,Which softly sang a lullaby;Born of the spirit of sad unrest.Flashing the diamonds on its breast. O, never a fairer sight was seenThan met our gaze that summer een;The long white reachOf the sandy beach,Bathed in a marvelous pearly light.Beckoned us on through the beauteous night;It seemed like a walk on the Heavenly shore,By the bou..dless sea of the Evermore. Twas a night to live in memory, Just the fairest picture there. To calm the troubled spirit. Like the breath of an angels prayer. A haze, like the rainbows shadow,Crept down the arched sky,Weaving with warp of moonlight A royal canopy.Whose folds were pinned with starlights,Whose beauty draped the sea,And all the realm of natureWas one grand harmony. 74
Text Appearing After Image:
The moon looked down on an opal sea.On Massachusetts Coast POEMS FROM LIFES EXPERIENCE THE ANGELS SWEETEST SONG Twas at the hour of midnight, When earth in slumber lay,I dreamed of heavenly music Coming from far away;A melody far sweeter Than mortals ever heard,It drew me nearer, nearer. My very soul was stirred. Whence came this wondrous music? No being on this earthCould ever write its pages. Or ever give it birth;The harmony was perfect. It could not be surpassed,I listened, fondly hoping That it might always last. Then fled the dark of midnight, The heavens opened wide,I saw the angels singing, Before the Crucified,Ten thousand times ten thousand, Unnumbered was the throng.And like the Avaves of ocean The music rolled along. The stars no longer glittered And vanished one by one.Awed by the matchless glory That in the heavens shone;Triumphant was the music, Naught could resist it long,And I had heard in dreamland The angels sweetest song. 76 POEMS FROM LIFES EXPERIENCE A SongRlXGlx
