THE WATCH-FIRE
NO.. s..


The seas are running high,
The sudden fogs scud low,
And meath the frowning sky
The petrels come and go.
In all the storm, no star
Points whittier lies the land,
Save, flashing DER the bar,
The watch.light on the strand.
Surer than flame or star
May pierce the sleet and foam,
Swiftly DER the hidden bar
The sailors thoughts fly home
Love meets her own half way,
And with her strong brown hand
Guards, mid the driving spray,
The watchlight on the strand.
One, standing at the wheel,
Beholds the distant spark,
And flashlights sway and reel
In answer through the dark,
One, waiting on the shore,
Knows none but Loves commands,
And keeps brave vigil DER
The light on the strand.
Watch'iire upon the shore,
Love light within the breast
What though the breakers roar,
And sea. winds find no rest
Hope Is thy better part,
Courage thy brightest brand;
Love light within the heart,
Watch light upon the strand.
