Anchored in the Channel

Anchored in the beam

Of setting sun a searchlight

That makes the water gleam

Incoming now the dusk and night

Incoming with the tide

Dipping down the golden orb

And soon its shine to hide

The sound of waves a constant

Brushing at the shore

Before a perfect sunset

And dark descends once more.
