PLYMOUTH HARBOUR, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Oh, what know they of harbours
Last Line: Who toss not on the sea!
Subject(s): Plymouth, England; Sea; Ocean


OH, what know they of harbours
Who toss not on the Sea!
They tell of fairer havens
But none so fair there be

As Plymouth town outstretching
Her quiet arms to me --
Her breast's broad welcome spreading
From Mewstone to Penlee.

And with this home-thought, darling,
Come crowding thoughts of thee --
Oh, what know they of harbours
Who toss not on the Sea!
