fHE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA.
"" " ' ■— ' * ~ -i -~ ; ~”
Proudly goes the battleship, mistress of the seas,
With her gaudy colors bragging to the breeze.
Stoutly steams leviathan, bursting waves to spray--.
Mistress of the ocean, what shall bar her way?
Par below the surface where the slimy congers lurk,
Stirs a hidden menace, groping through the murk;
Flaunting flag nor pennant, through the glaucous dark
Steals the unseen danger, silent as the shark.
Ah, the glorious battleshipiqueen of all the deep!
The Submarine
Hers the ocean highways, hers to guard and keep.
Steaming on her duty, wise the foe that shuns
The lightning stroke that flashes through the thunder of
her guns.
Now the hidden terror glimpses on the sea
Invincible leviathan, in pomp of admiralty.
A moment’s aim; a lever pulled; a rending, stunning
crash,
And where the dreadnought floated the empty eddies
splash.
