THE WRAITH by JOHN BANISTER TABB

First Line: THE MIST COMMINGLED WITH HER TEARS
Last Line: FORSAKES THE WATERY GRAVE.
Subject(s): SEA; STORMS; OCEAN;

The mist commingled with her tears
The while she watched his form --
The hazard of her hopes and fears --
Defy the threatening storm.

And where he vanished from her eyes,
Behold, his spirit brave,
Defiant, in the fog's disguise,
Forsakes the watery grave.
