Excerpts from the ReadingWillow English Library collection.

And thro’ the stormy water’s breadth and length
He helps to steer God’s Ark.

65) Little Rock, Ark

When floods covered every bough,
Noah's ark
Heard that ballad singing now;

Than a successive title, long and dark,
Drawn from the mouldy rolls of Noah's ark._--P. 226.

As when the dove returning bore the mark
Of earth restored to the long-labouring ark,
The relics of mankind, secure of rest,

In vain, with timbrelled anthems dark,
The sable-stoled sorcerers bear his worshipped ark. 220

The Dove of peace and promise to mine ark!

Long through thy weary crowds I roam;
A river-ark on the ocean brine,
