That smiled up at the sun.
"Hurrahi'' cried. "From home rover free
I'll breast nfe's waves alone"
And storm and night seemed faint and far away
And old wives hints of wreck,
Like fairy tales, the while the sunshine lay
I,ike.goid upon the deck.
But when upon the canvas Of the cloud,
Ink black in onward rush
And hoarsely mouthing Of the thunder loud.
The jagged lightning's brush
Limned me my folly with each vivid stroke,
Then, in the driving foam
And stinging spindrift as the tempest broke

And through the inly curtain Of the gale
There comes thread Of light,
And DER the Sitting Of the useless sail
Home voices cheer the night.

Smothered In creamy foam
There shines tha welcome Of a woman i eyes,
Tho harbor lights Of homel
