_"The Negro's Complaint."_--Who was the author of this short poem, to be

found in all the earlier collection of poetry for the use of schools? It

begins thus:

"Wide o'er the tremulous sea,

The moon spread her mantle of light;

And the gale gently dying away,

Breath'd soft on the bosom of night."
