Poems of Nature (Whittier)/Illustration 2

​

Night after a Storm at Sea.

Beneath the low-hung night cloud
That raked her splintering mast,
The good ship settled slowly,
The cruel leak gained fast.
******
And ship to ship made signals,
Man answered back to man,
While oft, to cheer and hearten,
The Three Bells nearer ran.
The Three Bells.
