Among the dwellers in the silent fields	A
The natural heart is touched and public way	B
And crowded street resound with ballad strains	C
Inspired by one whose very name bespeaks	D
Favour divine exalting human love	E
Whom since her birth on bleak Northumbria's coast	F
Known unto few but prized as far as known	G
A single Act endears to high and low	H
Through the whole land to Manhood moved in spite	I
Of the world's freezing cares to generous Youth	J
To Infancy that lisps her praise to Age	K
Whose eye reflects it glistening through a tear	L
Of tremulous admiration Such true fame	M
Awaits her 'now' but verily good deeds	N
Do not imperishable record find	O
Save in the rolls of heaven where hers may live	P
A theme for angels when they celebrate	Q
The high souled virtues which forgetful earth	R
Has witnessed Oh that winds and waves could speak	S
Of things which their united power called forth	T
From the pure depths of her humanity	U
A Maiden gentle yet at duty's call	V
Firm and unflinching as the Lighthouse reared	W
On the Island rock her lonely dwelling place	X
Or like the invincible Rock itself that braves	Y
Age after age the hostile elements	Z
As when it guarded holy Cuthbert's cell	A2
	-
All night the storm had raged nor ceased nor paused	B2
When as day broke the Maid through misty air	L
Espies far off a Wreck amid the surf	C2
Beating on one of those disastrous isles	D2
Half of a Vessel half no more the rest	E2
Had vanished swallowed up with all that there	L
Had for the common safety striven in vain	F2
Or thither thronged for refuge With quick glance	G2
Daughter and Sire through optic glass discern	H2
Clinging about the remnant of this Ship	I2
Creatures how precious in the Maiden's sight	I
For whom belike the old Man grieves still more	J2
Than for their fellow sufferers engulfed	K2
Where every parting agony is hushed	L2
And hope and fear mix not in further strife	M2
But courage Father let us out to sea	U
A few may yet be saved The Daughter's words	N2
Her earnest tone and look beaming with faith	O2
Dispel the Father's doubts nor do they lack	P2
The noble minded Mother's helping hand	Q2
To launch the boat and with her blessing cheered	W
And inwardly sustained by silent prayer	L
Together they put forth Father and Child	R2
Each grasps an oar and struggling on they go	H
Rivals in effort and alike intent	S2
Here to elude and there surmount they watch	T2
The billows lengthening mutually crossed	U2
And shattered and re gathering their might	I
As if the tumult by the Almighty's will	V2
Were in the conscious sea roused and prolonged	W2
That woman's fortitude so tried so proved	X2
May brighten more and more	J2
	-
True to the mark	Y2
They stem the current of that perilous gorge	Z2
Their arms still strengthening with the strengthening heart	A3
Though danger as the Wreck is neared becomes	B3
More imminent Not unseen do they approach	C3
And rapture with varieties of fear	D3
Incessantly conflicting thrills the frames	E3
Of those who in that dauntless energy	U
Foretaste deliverance but the least perturbed	F3
Can scarcely trust his eyes when he perceives	G3
That of the pair tossed on the waves to bring	H3
Hope to the hopeless to the dying life	M2
One is a Woman a poor earthly sister	I3
Or be the Visitant other than she seems	J3
A guardian Spirit sent from pitying Heaven	K3
In woman's shape But why prolong the tale	L3
Casting weak words amid a host of thoughts	M3
Armed to repel them Every hazard faced	N3
And difficulty mastered with resolve	O3
That no one breathing should be left to perish	P3
This last remainder of the crew are all	V
Placed in the little boat then o'er the deep	Q3
Are safely borne landed upon the beach	R3
And in fulfilment of God's mercy lodged	S3
Within the sheltering Lighthouse Shout ye Waves	Y
Send forth a song of triumph Waves and Winds	T3
Exult in this deliverance wrought through faith	O2
In Him whose Providence your rage hath served	U3
Ye screaming Sea mews in the concert join	V3
And would that some immortal Voice a Voice	W3
Fitly attuned to all that gratitude	X3
Breathes out from floor or couch through pallid lips	Y3
Of the survivors to the clouds might bear	L
Blended with praise of that parental love	E
Beneath whose watchful eye the Maiden grew	Z3
Pious and pure modest and yet so brave	A4
Though young so wise though meek so resolute	B4
Might carry to the clouds and to the stars	C4
Yea to celestial Choirs Grace Darling's name	M
