PLYMOUTH
by: Ernest Radford
- H! what
know they of harbours
- Who toss not on the sea?
- They tell of fairer havens,
- But none so fair there be
-
- As Plymouth town outstretching
- Her quiet arms to me,
- Her breast's broad welcome spreading
- From Mewstone to Penlee.
-
- And with this home-thought, darling,
- Come crowding thoughts of thee;
- Oh! what know they of harbours
- Who toss not on the sea?
