Harbors Rest - Manassian Quintain
The midnight sea, it carries me
So high aloft, atop the burly crest
I hear the crash, on distant shore
The boat is strained in freezing quest
It carries me atop the burly crest
In shroud of fog, I strain to see
Will I survive the crashing waves
Nothing is still, the air is filled
Cold fear stilled face, the hand that saves
I strain to see the crashing waves
Before the wave I speed by rocks
Into a place to harbor’s rest
From turbulent to calmer fare
My fear has died, survived to tell
I speed by rocks to harbor’s rest
