Harmonies (Howe collection)/A Birthday Verse

​
A BIRTHDAY VERSE
How fierce the storm that starless night
 When she put forth alone!
Watching through tears that quenched my sight,
 I paced a shore unknown.

But oh, when morning broke, and day
 Smiled up across the tide,
Here in the harbor safe she lay,
 Her rescue by her side!
