THE HARBOUR-LIGHT

By Thomas Nelson Page

Oh, the Harbour-light and the Harbour-light!

And how shall we come to the Harbour-light?

‘ Tis black to-night and the foam is white,

And would we might win to the Harbour-light!

Oh, the Harbour-bar and the Harbour-bar!

And how shall we pass o'er the Harbour-bar?

The sea is tost and the ship is lost,

And deep is the sleep‘ neath the Harbour-bar.
