Lucy Maud Montgomery - My Longshore LassLucy Maud Montgomery - My Longshore Lass
Work rating: Low


Far in the mellow western sky,  Above the restless harbor bar, A beacon on the coast of night,  Shines out a calm, white evening star; But your deep eyes, my `longshore lass,  Are brighter, clearer far. The glory of the sunset past  Still gleams upon the water there, But all its splendor cannot match  The wind-blown brightness of your hair; Not any sea-maid`s floating locks  Of gold are half so fair. The waves are whispering to the sands  With murmurs as of elfin glee; But your low laughter, `longshore lass,  Is like a sea-harp`s melody, And the vibrant tones of your tender voice  Are sweeter far to me.
