I gazed into a maiden's eyes
And saw reflected love,
Deeper than ocean depths beneath
Or blue of sky above.
Lifted by tides that ebb and flow,
We passed across the bar—
Out on the sea of life beyond,
Beneath a guiding star.

Tossed by the waves that rose and fell
On calm and stormy sea,
Blown by the winds that come and go,
Fearless, she sailed with me.
We saw the passing of the sun
That told of coming night
As we sailed on into the west,
Engulfed in Glory Light.
