< Ben King's Verse

The dim light to the sou'ward
  Is the beacon of the coast,
But the white light to the leeward
  The mariner loves most.
And whether 'tis the dim light
  Or the white light to the lee,
That great big hunk of daylight
  Is light of lights for me.
But what it is of all lights
  That fills my soul with glee,
Is when that hunk of daylight
  Climbs up out of the sea.
