A History of Full many a time In flight from care, And I have found in thee A sheltering cove of rest From storms of life. Thy rocks and garden green above Give resting pleasure to the eye Thine acres broad Of clean unsoiling sand With gullies interspersed and warm Give sportive play a chance. Thy waves and tide With ebb and flow Lend music, change and rest Unto the mind and heart And from thy soothing, buoyant, Bracing summer waters come Whene'er I swim and sun in thee A sparkling sense of health And so to me thou art indeed A gladdening, strengthening, sheltering Cove of life.
