And, saved from wreck on raging seas,
They fell upon their knees, and then
Upon the Aborigines.

Oh, the saddest of sights in a world of sin
Is a little lost pup with his tail tucked in!

The Cat on your hearthstone to this day presages,
By solemnly sneezing, the coming of rain!

If Friend, we greet thee, hand and heart;
If Stranger, such no longer be;
If Foe, our love shall conquer thee.

And the welkin splits apart when he hits an upper note.

And hope is dumb,
The World says, "Go!"
The Grave says, "Come!"
