    Letters, from absent friends, extinguish fear,
    Unite division, and draw distance near;
    Their magic force each silent wish conveys,
    And wafts embodied though, a thousand ways:
    Could souls to bodies write, death's pow'r were mean,
    For minds could then meet minds with heav'n between.

Every day brings a ship,
Every ship brings a word;
Well for those who have no fear,
Looking seaward well assured
That the word the vessel brings
Is the word they wish to hear.

In which we feel the pressure of a hand,--
One touch of fire,--and all the rest is mystery!
