SONG AT SUNSET.
Come! our vessel sways:
Our untroubled home
Calls us over ways
Of untravelled foam,
Calls us over ways
That no feet have clomb,
Over straits and bays
Of untravelled foam.
Our untroubled home
Calls us over ways
Of untravelled foam,
Calls us over ways
That no feet have clomb,
Over straits and bays
Of untravelled foam.
There the stars above
Watch, a silent throng,
Perfect nights of love
Marvellously long:
There the nights of love
Pass as in a song
Never wearied of,
Marvellously long.
Watch, a silent throng,
Perfect nights of love
Marvellously long:
There the nights of love
Pass as in a song
Never wearied of,
Marvellously long.

There may we forget
Lands wherein respire
Longing and regret,
Sorrows and desire.
Longing and regret
Fade, as from a lyre
Notes that touch and fret
Sorrows and desire.
Lands wherein respire
Longing and regret,
Sorrows and desire.
Longing and regret
Fade, as from a lyre
Notes that touch and fret
Sorrows and desire.
There our grief will be
As a sea-bird's wing
In the mystery
Of the sunsetting,
As a mystery
That awakes to sing
On a dreamy sea
In the sunsetting.
As a sea-bird's wing
In the mystery
Of the sunsetting,
As a mystery
That awakes to sing
On a dreamy sea
In the sunsetting.
