THE HARBOUR-LIGHT

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.
