XIII. MULLYON ISLAND (ENYS BRONNEN).
He is the perfect man who dares to beAlone, yet not too separate from his kind;
Whose forehead meets undaunted every wind,
Whose heart is calm in storm or summer sea.
To him all helpless ones are fain to flee,
And, as they shelter 'neath his counsel, find
Consistent truth, and constancy as kind—
To come and go on all occasions free.
And thou of this man's nature hast a part,
Thou island home of succour by the shore,
The waves that strew Polurrian's beach with woe
Break round thee, but the wave-beat fishers know
Thou hast sweet shelter for the boats in store,—
Isle of the genial hand and generous heart.
