THE ROMANTIC STORY of the MAYFLOWER PILGRIMS by ALBERT CHRISTOPHER ADDISON
Well worthy to be magnified are they/  Who, with sad hearts, of friends and country took/  A last farewell, their loved abodes forsook,/  And hallowed ground in which their fathers lay./  Wordsworth
The breaking waves dash'd high/ On a stern and rock-bound coast;/  And the woods, against a stormy sky, / Their giant branches toss'd. / --Mrs. Hemans
