adorn ye;
The wind will deem each one a queen,
And woo. He dare not scorn ye!

_Homeward Bound_

I have ventured on many a journey,
By land and sea;
And whether success or failure
Was granted me,
It mattered but very little--
It is good to be Homeward Bound.

When thou bravest the final voyage,
And thou must steer
Across the mysterious ocean,
Friend, have no fear;
There is only one port for the sailors
When once they are Homeward Bound!

_Approaching Night_

The lower'd skies are grey; the trees are bare.
A week ago they gleam'd in splendid rows
Of gold and crimson; now in gaunt despair
They stand like ghosts above new-fallen snows.

The world seems even greyer than the skies.
'Twas yesterday the homeward-honking geese
Fled as from death. They know too well what lies
Behind this sinister, foreboding peace!
