Faltli trlms her laiup In the darkest hour, Far 1d the heights of lier llght-house tower, Climb, oh, my heart, to the trembllng benm; Go, for the nlght is without a gleam. Peer over the sea, Am! cali back tome. Ahoy ! gleamlng white, A sail cuts tlie gïoom of the nlght. Qo, oh, my beurt! Duik on the ocean and dark on land ; Wild are the breukers thut lash the strand, Oh. in the nlght if tho sail o by. VmtM In the nlght whilo I die, I die! Peer over tlie sea, And cali back to me, Alioy! gleamlng white, A salí cuts the gloom of tlie nlght. Qo, oh, in y baart I Watch thou nomore for the shlpa that salled, Satled 'ere tha tlush of thedawn had paled, Floatltggny punnons and waftlng along Over the ocean soft laughter and song. flotillas of plensure, Barquea laden wlth treasure, Crews merry to man tbem, And gales soft and fragrant to fan them. Uo, oh, in y beart ! 3mooth was the sea and the sky cloud free. Uut never a shlp carne back to me. Deep ín lome fathomless ocean wave, Slups, treasures and crews have found their K'rave. The sea weed en tan ules, Theueath-dew bespangles, The beautlful tresses That llfe's tonch no longer careases. Go, oh, my heart ! lurk is the nlght thatshall never eease; Wiilch, ob, my heart, for the shlp of peace; iVatoh, i. ir lis whUeness shall part the uignt, Severlts gloom llke the dawn ol liglit. Peerover the sea, And cail back to me. Ahoy ! gleaming white, A salí cuts the gloom of the nlght. Uo, oh, my heart ! ¦atlenoe, my heart, for those satis of llht lenin through the ilurk of the darkest niglit, Then In Rome harbor ol rest, at last, sails shall bi lurltd and the anchor cast. oh, uvrr the sea, For you and for me, The white -hip ol l'eace Is oomtng wit h sorrow's sureease. So. in, oh, my heart!
