PLYMOUTH HARBOR
Oh, what know they of harbors
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.
Ah, with this home-thought, darling,
Come crowding thoughts of
thee.
Oh, what know they of harbors
Who toss not on the sea!
From: Stevenson, Burton Egbert.
