The Lone Graye on the Beach.
The tempest is wild to night,
And high breaks the wave
When the moon sheds its light
On a desolate grave
Just above the water's reach
The lone grave on the beach.
Its secret all its own,
Lo ! these many long years
Xo cold, gray stone.
Xo sorrowing mourner's tears,
To tell by eye or by word to teach,
Who lies in the lone grave on the beach
And e'en yet the waves may break
And on the cold rocks resound
In vain tempts the secret to wake,
As the fleeting years roll round
Till the last day's summons shall reach
The sad, lone grave on the beach.
