From the treacherous coralline lips
That pant for prey,
The life of a thousand ships
They guide alway.
On the course of one vessel I know
Shines only—one:
Yet the gleam of all others’ may fade or may go;
—Mine, changes none.
The glow that it throws finds the near; or the far
Wide wasting through.
Your love and your faith its keepers are:
Its light is—You.
