On Hearing of the Introduction of Foreign Spies into Our Police Force
By H.Y.
Verses 8 and 9
In air a spirit midway stands,
Its voice falls on the wave;
In dark despair its outstretched hands
Are reaching far to save
From death the Queen of many lands
From wave to wave its voice is borne;
Salt tears from ocean flow;
A dry, a wailing tune forlorn
It echoes sadly low-
The crown is lost by Albion worn.
