SAILS TO THE BREEZE, by VELMA SPRIGG GEIGER

Last Line: Their light, when it grows dark.
Subject(s): Wind
First Line: I pray that there will be no heavy gale
Last Line: Their light, when it grows dark.
Subject(s): Wind
I pray that there will be no heavy gale,
Only a gentle breeze to fill the sail
Of my outgoing barque.
No stormy sea to toss and roll my ship,
Just softly lapping waves. I want to slip
Unnoticed from the pier. But on this trip
I'd like a silver moon and stars to drip
Their light, when it grows dark.
