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
