ALONE BY THE BAY.
ALONE BY THE BAY.
HE is gone. O my heart, he is gone;
And the sea remains and the sky
And the skiffs flit in and out,
And the white-winged yachts go by.

The waves run purple and green,
And the sunshine glints and glows,
And freshly across the Bay
The breath of the morning blows.

I liked it better last night,
When the dark shut down on the main,
And the phantom fleet lay still,
And I heard the waves complain.
