Page:Songs from the Southern Seas and Other Poems (1873).djvu/159



HERE is one bright star in heaven
 * Ever shining in my night;

God to me one guide has given,
 * Like the sailor's beacon-light,

Set on every shoal and danger,
 * Sending out its warning ray

To the home-bound weary stranger
 * Looking for the land-locked bay.

In my farthest, wildest wanderings
 * I have turned me to that love,

As a diver, 'neath the water,
 * Turns to watch the light above.
