Description
|
| Apiece of sheet music titled "Thema" about a sailboat and dedicated to Mr. Frank B. McQuesten. On the cover is a drawing of a gaff rigged sloop in a harbor with other boats. It is undersail with the mainsail rigged. The words are: Amid the black hulls of the fisher boats, Their canvas all drooping and gray; The beautiful Thelma at mooring floats, In a bend of the sheltering bay, The quivering bark is a marvelous dream, As she welcomes the whispering waves, Her fluttering pinions imprison the gleam Of the path the red sum monarch paves. In the North 'neath a sky that is rarer than rare, Lies the snow in a brilliance of white; From the Snow-land came Thelma, a visitant fair? Did she bear in her wings all the light? Or out of the South did she fly like a bird To find a fair haven of rest? Or out of the dawn-dwelling East has she err'd? Did a wind waft her out of the West? But her sails all un-sullied, un-wearied she holds, Nor deigns us the answer we pray; For Thelma is safe in the fisher-boat folds When the shadows dream laden hold sway. |
