THE HALLIG.


   Float away, oh mournful measure !
      Greet once more my native land ;
    Every beauty, every pleasure
      Liveth in my Fatherland.

    Ah, in vain do my complainings
      Wake the hidden pain once more ;
    No mild breeze will deign to bear them
      Kindly to my native shore.

    Ocean's waves are roaring round me,
      Ocean mists my vision vail,
    All unanswered are my greetings,
      Lost upon the adverse gale.
