POEM FOR MEMORISATION
FOR FOUR MARKS
01 : Balled Of The Tempest
We were crowded in the cabin ,
Not a soul would dare to sleep,
It was midnight on the waters,
And a storm was on the deep.
‘Tis a fearful thing in winter
To be shattered by the blast
And to hear the rattling trumpet,
Thunder ,”Cut away the mast”
So we shuddered there in silence ,
For the stoutest held his breath,
While the hungry sea was roaring
And the breakers talked with death.
As thus we sat in darkness ,
Each one busy with his prayers,
“we are lost’’ the captain shouted, As he staggered down the stairs.
But his little daughter whispered ` Then we kissed the little maiden
As she took his icy hand , And we spake in better cheer,
“Isn’t God upon the ocean , And achored safe in harbour
Just the same as on the land ?”. When the morn was shining clear.

POEM :07 The Blind Boy
O say what is that thing called light
Which I must ne’er enjoy
What are the blessings of the sight
O tell your poor blind boy
You talk of wondrous things you see
You say the sun shines bright;
I feel him warm ,but how can he
Or make it day or night ?
My day or night myself I make ,
Whenev’r I sleep or play
And could I ever awake
With me ‘twere always day.
With heavy sighs I often hear
You mourn my hapless woe;
But sure with patience I can bear
A loss I ne’er can know
Then let not what I cannot have
My cheer of mind destroy
Whilst thus I sing ,I am king
Although a poor blind boy .
