The Northern Star

By Anonymous

THE NORTHERN STAR

Sailed over the bar

Bound to the Baltic Sea;

In the morning gray

She stretched away;—

’T was a weary day to me!

For many an hour

In sleet and shower

By the lighthouse rock I stray;

And watch till dark

For the wingéd bark

Of him that is far away.

The castle’s bound

I wander round,

Amidst the grassy graves:

But all I hear

Is the north-wind drear,

And all I see are the waves.

The Northern Star

Is set afar!

Set in the Baltic Sea:

And the waves have spread

The sandy bed

That holds my Love from me.
