BAPTISM IN THE SEA.INSCRIBED TO DR. AND MRS. DUNKLIN, CHURCH STREET, GALVESTON.
The golden sunlight trembles down Upon the sea's broad breast, The blue waves roll Like eager soul Toward the land of rest.
They bow their crested heads to meet The pilgrims on the shore, Who turn to-day In tears away From sin forever more.
Beneath the blue baptismal wave, All human struggles cease; Since Jesus stood In Jordan's flood, And found the Dove of Peace.
