His Light

Topics: classic

Gray mist on the sea,     And the night coming down,     She stays with sorrow     In a far town.     He goes the sea-ways     By channel lights dim,     Her love, a true light,     Watches for him.     They would be wedded     On a fair yesterday,     But the quick regiment     Saw him away.     Gray mist in her eyes     And the night coming down:     He feels a prayer     From a far town.     He goes the sea-ways,     The land lights are dim;     She and an altar light     Keep watch for him.
