Looks from his throne of clouds o'er half the world. 60

Now far he sweeps, where scarce a summer smiles,

On Behring's rocks, or Greenland's naked isles;

away.

But Hope can here her moonlight vigils keep,

And sing to charm the spirit of the deep

Swift as yon streamer lights the starry pole,

Her visions warm the watchman's pensive soul.

Treads the lov'd shore he sigh'd to leave behind;

Wipes from her cheek the rapture-speaking tear,
And clasps, with many a sigh, his children dear!

Points to the master's eyes (where'er they roam)

His wistful face, and whines a welcome home.
