  2. To Mary Emmaline
    On a sandy beach I lay at rest
    And watched the bounding sea
    With its scattered sails and billows dressed
    In white foam leaping free.
    T'was a sublime scene, a vision rare
    Just sweeter wert thou nigh
    With thy Autumn wealth of wind-tossed hair
    And sparkling azure eye
