Classic Poem

Honey moon! Honey moon!
Though this April night
Ocean, bay, and dark lagoon
Revel in thy light,
Will to-morrow see thy rays
Where to-night they gleam,
And my young bride's tender gaze
Still with gladness beam?

Beacon light! Beacon light!
On yon lonely shore,
Shining faith-like every night,
Where the breakers roar,
Like a beating heart thy flash,
Fed by human care,
Cheers the mariner when crash
Tempests through the air.

Maiden fair! Maiden fair!
While the orange wreath
Sheds its fragrance o'er thy hair,
Let thy balmier breath
Vow that, like the Beacon's light,
Thou wilt ever shine
For the lover who to-night
Links his fate with thine.
