  	                      "MEMENTO" 

 1	          Respectfully inscribed to my friends in Lynn. 

  	    I COME to thee
 3	        O'er the moonlit sea,
  	    When the hoarse wave revisits thy
  	          shore! 
 6	        When waters shout,
  	        And the stars peep out,
  	    I am with thee in spirit once more. 

 9	        Then list the moan
  	        Of the billows' foam,
  	    Laving with surges thy silv'ry beach! 
12	        Night's dewy eye,
  	        The sea-mew's lone cry,
  	    Witness my presence and utter my speech. 

15	        Pleasant a grave
  	        By the "Rock" or wave,
  	    And afar from life's turmoil its goal. 
18	        No sculptured lie,
  	        Or hypocrite sigh,
  	    E'er to mock the bright truth of the soul.

 1	        Friends, will not ye
  	        Think kindly of me,
 3	    In those moments to memory bestowed? 
  	        Smile on me yet,
  	        O blue eyes and jet,
 6	    Soft as when parting thy sympathy glowed!
