Now we are anchored here beneath
the Southern Cross,
In velvet tropic dark, with a spice
wind blowing
Across the harbor waters peaceful
lap and toss.
Somewhere up in the hills a light IS
burning,
Remote and mysterious as distant
star;
A drum beats, and nearer, at this
waterfront,
Someone is singing to a softly picked
guitar.
What the light is, we shall not be
knowing,
For it will vanish long before the
dawn;
Nor what the drum means, nor who
is singing;
No, for tomorrow morning we shall
be gone.
But at some time and in another
latitude
When the bitter gale is keen and
strong,
We shall remember a night of stars
and smell of spices,
An anonymous singer and an UNI
known song.
