Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Poems
To Him the God of storms - and prays that He Will guard her only one upon the sea. Down to the beach the rough waves pour Their noisy flood with loud and deafening roar; The wild sea birds scream to the fitful gale, And the winds re-echo the ceaseless wail!

With frantic haste down to the shore she speeds, And there at once her greatest sorrow reads. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
