e The On good the day ship th in at the we river went lay down ;
Just on the skirt of that grey cloud Which hovers o ' er the town . A damp and dark November day
No sunshine in the sky , , When those who loved the pilgrim went To bid our friend good bye .
We saw the narrow crowded deck , The cabin decked with care , Whose That many loving thoug hands htful were trifles there showed .
We saw the group of hopeful hearts For distant pastures bound , And tearful that looked their last
eyes On native English ground . And when at length the Duncan sailed
On world-wide journey bent , How many tender hopes and prayers With her white wings were sent .
How many weeks she ploughed her way Across that watery plain—How anxious the listening hearts
grew That watched at home in vain , — Those only knew who , day by day
Looke In constant d out for vi tidings gil past long , delayed Till comfort came at last .
For when the April days grew long , There And came we were the bri dove ght across with flowers the sea ,
From that true friend of ours . Kind words of thoughtful greeting sent
A cheerful tale to tell ; A whisper thrilled across the breadth Of earth and sea— " All ' s well . "
April 25 th , 1868 . Bessie R . Parkes .
