      It was down on the glistening beach that they met , That gay young soldier and she ; He had'hoped to win my first , but he knew As he lean ' t ' gainst a withered tree , That a woman ' s heart alone could vie

      With that fickle and treacherous sea . He took out my second and fondly gazed On its smooth and simple face , No jewel however rare could lend To his love so winning a

      grace—He watched the waves running over its grave , With cruel relentless pace . It was over now , and he turned away , As he walked with drooping head To his desolate home , where he found my whole

      Still warm but stiff and dead , And he would have been choked by his sobs , but alas I He was choked by a bone instead . — B ——— I ^
