Good Father o' the Dusk, my love for thee Is boundless as the soul's eternal sea; Thou wrought for me when I was weak and young, And guarded me from life's tempestuous wrong. Thou art the lamp that safely pilots me Beyond the crags and shoals of life's rough sea; I cannot falter when thou bidst me go Where moonlit waters to the ocean flow. Let others boast of gold and mansions grand, No father lives throughout this Western land So good, so true, so brave of heart as thee, My mariner across the starlit sea. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...CONTRA MORTEM: THE MOON by HAYDEN CARRUTH THE SOCIOLOGY OF TOYOTAS AND JADE CHRYSANTHEMUMS by HAYDEN CARRUTH FOREST FLOWERS by ROBERT FROST TO SEE THE STARS IN DAYLIGHT by JAMES GALVIN |
