NIGHT sinks on the wave, Hollow gusts are sighing, Sea-birds to their cave Through the gloom are flying. Oh! should storms come sweeping, Thou, in heaven unsleeping, O'er thy children vigil keeping, Hear, hear, and save! Stars look o'er the sea, Few, and sad, and shrouded, Faith our light must be, When all else is clouded. Thou, whose voice came thrilling, Wind and billow stilling, Speak once more! our prayer fulfilling -- Power dwells with Thee! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...TO BEACHEY, 1912 by CARL SANDBURG FORERUNNERS by RALPH WALDO EMERSON A SHROPSHIRE LAD: 40 by ALFRED EDWARD HOUSMAN BEAUTY ROHTRAUT by EDUARD FRIEDRICH MORIKE CHRIST IN FLANDERS by LUCY WHITMELL THE BEST MEMORIAL by AGATHIAS SCHOLASTICUS ODES: BOOK 1: ODE 3.
