The Enchanted Isle Of The Sea.
THE ENCHANTED ISLE OF THE SEA .
A Fairy Tale . BY SAVAEICUS . UPON a summer ' s day
, Along the sea-girt shore , A little child at play Was aged nine—no more ; Bright sunlit auburn hair , Crowned the darlings head , By itan halo there
, , Was radiantly shed ; Her smiling angel face , And beautiful blue eyes , Combined with every grace Wo see beneath the skies :
The patter of her feet , And accents of her tongue Keep time hi union sweet As thus she softly sung : — " Under the sea , under the sea , Tho mermaids live sportive and free ;
My heart it doth tell , That I love them well , And their home I am wishing to see ; Under the sea , under the sea , The fairies are singing to me . "
And then communing with horself , The child addressed an unseen elf : — " I listen and hear in tones that are clear , Fairy-like music so sweet to the ear ; Each ravishing sound appears to wind round
The chords of my heart , and there to be bound . The whole of my frame , Doth thrill with the same , Tho songs and the voices surely , Are part of a plan
Of your fairy clan , And way they have to allure me , By day and by night , I dream that some sprite , For ever doth say , in fond loving way , — 'From under the sea ,
Wo watch over thee , Delighted to think that we may . ' Oh , if it were true , I ever could view , The fairies , their sea-homes , and all ? My hearthow it bounds
, , To singular sounds , In fancy I hear some one call , And often thus I hear a sweet voice , Arise as it were from the sea ; The tones that then come bid me rejoice , And trill like a fairy to me . "
The rippling waves upon the pebly shore , That softly fell with laughter's mimic roar , Unto the child , that watched the feath ' ry spray , With winning voice and words , thus seem'd to say : ¦—
" Be of good cheer , no mortal here , Except yourself dare I go near ; Ami I am sent , with good intent , To serve your oft repeated bent , But you must say , you -will obey , The pleasing message I convey ;
