Beacon

" Beacon of Love, shine in the night of waning moon, whither thy lamp beams goest , the world will go, O light up the lamps of hope and love" Eden Verse Thou foster child of sea and night ! For thee send fairies starry carts In stormy eves ' in horrid nights Solace thou sailors sinking hearts On watery canvas who made thou? Thou are which Magic painter's art? Thou saved the sailors numberless In waning nights, O burning heart ! From centuries numberless you there: Without a friend without a foe' Oh one and only ocean's eye! Moon of the world of ocean thou! Thou are a far off Fairy's lamp A ray of hope, a candle thou: The ice_bergs look at thee in awe The angel worship at thy top Thou forlorn rose in midst of sea Thou oceans meadows only crop; Thou fruit of prayers of bygone days From heaven's height on earth ye drop At nights in oceans pitchy dark For distressed souls a sight to sea All shires, towns and kirks and dales From thy height every scene we see Thou silent voice , thou helping hand! Thou foster child of time and sea! No one can ever thou surpass! Thou sole in all thy Family-tree' Oh saving- angel midst of sea! O savior of sailors at night Oh minaret of hope and glee For painful eyes a soothing sight Thou saved the billion lives at sea Thy burning heart so beauteous fair For sailors, birds and lonesome boats For every one a friend sincere
