Dark stream flowing so blackly on, Thy turbid billows roll o'er golden sands; Beneath the surface all thy fear is gone, And precious gems fill full the diver's hands.

For, either sunk beyond the diver's skill, There, fathoms deep, our gold is all arust, Or in that island it is hoarded still.

I've heard of the diver to the depths Of the ocean forced to go, To bring up the pearl and the twisted shell From the fathomless caves below; I've heard of the things in those dismal gulfs, Like fiends that hemm'd him round I would not lead a diver's life For every pearl that's found.

Diver's Bay,and a score of people,and a thought that smelt like brimstone, and fiery enough to burn through the soul that tried to keep it,this for him;fishing,making bargains,visiting at Old Briton's,making presents to the dame,telling stories, singing songs by that fireside, and growing quieter by every other,that was the way he did it;cured himself of jealousy?

No danger of disturbance there!of all bleak and desert places known to the people of Diver's Bay,
