The beacon

by bertie-bug box - Cancer

The sky's a-bruised with stormy clouds,
That, in a flash, out-roar the sea;
The wind cries in a morbid key,
And tears the rain to ghostly shrouds.

The lone boatsmen, beyond the tide,
Are but rare twinkles of a lamp,
Between the grey and restless ramps
Of their cold, wet and bumpy ride.

The lighthouseman, upon the cliff,
Within his tall and sturdy home,
Sounds the foghorn; tends the cone:
-A rod of caring yellow mist.
