SELECTED POBTRY. THE OCEAN. Vom the "Glasgow Free Press." Ocean! I love to view thy dark blue facr, To hear the rippling on thy shclvy shore: To me, thy form hath greatness, grandeur, i;race To me there's more than music in thy roar. Washed by thy wave?, !ike pearls the pebldcs shine; Thy shady shore is like n jewelled sky; Waj sho-jlJ I woudcr thou wcrl deemed ravine, When Faphia, thv sweet daughter, rules on high?
