Tell us a story of these Isles they said	A
The daughters of the West whose eyes had seen	B
For the first time the circling sea instead	A
Of the blown prairie's waves of grassy green	B
	-
Tell us of wreck and peril storm and cold	C
Wild as the wildest Under summer stars	D
With the slow moonrise at our back I told	C
The story of the young Norwegian Lars	D
	-
That youth with the black eyebrows sharply drawn	E
In strong curves like some sea bird's wings outspread	C
O'er his dark eyes is Lars and this fair dawn	E
Of womanhood the maiden he will wed	C
	-
She loves him for the dangers he has past	C
Her rosy beauty glowed before his stern	F
And vigilant regard until at last	C
Her sweetness vanquished Lars the taciturn	F
	-
For he is ever quiet strong and wise	G
Wastes nothing not a gesture nor a breath	H
Forgets not gazing in the maiden's eyes	G
A year ago it was not love but death	H
	-
That clasped him and can hardly learn as yet	C
How to be merry haunted by that pain	I
And terror and remembering with regret	C
The comrade he can never see again	J
	-
Out from the harbor on that winter day	C
Sailed the two men to set their trawl together	K
Down swept the sudden snow squall o'er the bay	C
And hurled their slight boat onward like a feather	K
	-
They tossed they knew not whither till at last	C
Under the lighthouse cliff they found a lee	L
And out the road lines of the trawl they cast	C
To moor her is so happy they might be	L
	-
But quick the slender road lines snapt in twain	I
In the wild breakers and once more they tossed	C
Adrift and watching from his misty pane	I
The lighthouse keeper muttered They are lost	C
	-
Lifted the snow night fell swift cleared the sky	M
The air grew sharp as death with polar cold	C
Raged the insensate gale and flashing high	M
In starlight keen the hissing billows rolled	C
	-
Driven before the winds incessant scourge	N
All night they fled one dead ere morning lay	C
Lars saw his strange drawn countenance emerge	N
In the fierce sunrise light of that drear day	C
	-
And thought A little space and I shall be	L
Even as he and gazing in despair	O
O'er the wide weltering waste no sign could see	L
Of hope of help or comfort anywhere	O
	-
Two hundred miles before the hurricane	I
The dead and living drove across the sea	L
The third day dawned His dim eyes saw again	J
The vast green plain breaking eternally	L
	-
In ghastly waves But in the early light	C
On the horizon glittering like a star	P
Fast growing looming tall with canvas white	C
Sailed his salvation southward from afar	P
	-
Down she bore rushing o'er the hills of brine	Q
Straight for his feeble signal As she passed	C
Out from the schooner's deck they flung a line	Q
And o'er his head the open noose was cast	C
	-
Clutching with both his hands the bowline knot	C
Caught at his throat swift drawn through fire he seemed	C
Whelmed in the icy sea and he forgot	C
Life death and all things yet he thought he dreamed	C
	-
A dread voice cried We've lost him and a sting	R
Of anguish pierced his clouded senses through	S
A moment more and like a lifeless thing	R
He lay among the eager pitying crew	S
	-
Long time he swooned while o'er the ocean vast	C
The dead man tossed alone they knew not where	O
But youth and health triumphant were at last	C
And here is Lars you see and here the fair	O
	-
Young snow and rose bloom maiden he will wed	C
His face is kindly thought it seems so stern	F
Death passed him by and life begins instead	C
For Thora sweet and Lars the taciturn	F
