The Ocean's Song.

("Nous nous promenions Rozel-Tower.")     [Bk. VI. iv., October, 1852.]     We walked amongst the ruins famed in story             Of Rozel-Tower,     And saw the boundless waters stretch in glory             And heave in power.     O ocean vast! we heard thy song with wonder,             Whilst waves marked time.     "Appeal, O Truth!" thou sang'st with tone of thunder,             "And shine sublime!     "The world's enslaved and hunted down by beagles, -             To despots sold,     Souls of deep thinkers, soar like mighty eagles,             The Right uphold.     "Be born; arise; o'er earth and wild waves bounding             Peoples and suns!     Let darkness vanish; - tocsins be resounding,             And flash, ye guns!     "And you, - who love no pomps of fog, or glamour,             Who fear no shocks,     Brave foam and lightning, hurricane and clamor,             Exiles - the rocks!"     TORU DUTT
