Andromeda, and Other Poems/The Watchman
THE WATCHMAN.
i.'WATCHMAN, what of the night?' 'The stars are out in the sky;And the merry round moon will be rising soon, For us to go sailing by.'
ii.'Watchman, what of the night?' 'The tide flows in from the sea;There's water to float a little cockboat Will carry such fishers as we.'
iii.'Watchman, what of the night?' 'The night is a fruitful time;When to many a pair are born children fair, To be christened at morning chime.'
