The Lighthouse Of Pigeon Point
Above the waves that break in foam on loam,
Over the shore's perpetual smile,
The lighthouse must forever stand alone.
Where birds have flown and all the flowers have blown,
There, his light bids us to bide awhile,
For only light for darkness can atone.
Although his bell tolls with a subtle tone
Across the coast for mile after mile,
The lighthouse must forever stand alone.

一八五三年一月
Carrier Pigeon
"信鴿號"
從美東波士頓
處女首航
開往美西的舊金山
安全繞過
美卅南端的合恩角
六月六日來到加州
Santa Cruz 外海
不幸在夜晚大霧中
觸礁傾覆
幾年後
一八七一年
在失事的海角邊
建了一座燈塔
紀念"信鴿號"
取名
The Lighthouse Of Pigeon Point
今天
初秋時節
二度來此攬勝
