  Cold and cheerless dawned the morning, Dark frowning clouds swept o’er the deep, Tinging the rough foaming waters While anxious hearts sad vigils keep. All night long the storm was raging, The angry waves dashed on the shore, As the tempest with fury howled And moaned around each cabin door. All night long a light shone brightly, A beacon light flashed through the storm, From the light house rays of guidance Pierced the darkness to hearts forlorn. Far, far out where sky and ocean Seemed to meet on the crested wave, Lo! a boat with sails all shattered, Bearing the fishermen so brave. Nearer, nearer o’er the billows, Seemingly clutched in their embrace, They have weathered storm and tempest, Now meet their loved ones face to face. |
