Part 3 — THE NORTHERN STAR
Reading edition
A Tynemouth Ship
The Northern Star Sailed over the bar Bound to the Baltic Sea; In the morning gray She stretched away:— 'Twas a weary day to me!
For many an hour In sleet and shower By the lighthouse rock I stray; And watch till dark For the winged bark Of him that is far away.
The castle's bound I wander round, Amidst the grassy graves: But all I hear Is the north wind drear, And all I see are the waves.
The Northern Star Is set afar! Set in the Baltic Sea: And the waves have spread The sandy bed That holds my Love from me.
