The Fire of Drift-Wood.




We sat within the farm-house old,Whose windows, looking o'er the bay,Gave to the sea-breeze, damp and cold,An easy entrance, night and day.
Not far away we saw the port,—The strange, old-fashioned, silent town,—The lighthouse,—the dismantled fort,—The wooden houses, quaint and brown.
