Eyes Like the Sea

Eyes like the sea, look up, the beacons brighten,
Home comes the sailor, home across the tide!
Back drifts the cloud, behold the heavens whiten,
The port of Love is open, he anchors at thy side.

UNDER THE CLIFF
          The sands and the sea, and the white gulls fleeting,
          The mist on the island, the cloud on the hill;
          The song in my heart, and the old hope beating
          Its life ’gainst the bars of thy will.
