There is rumor in Dark Harbor	A
And the folk are all astir	A
For a stranger in the offing	B
Draws them down to gaze at her	A
In the gray of early morning	B
Black against the orange streak	C
Making in below the ledges	D
With no colors at her peak	C
Something makes their hearts uneasy	E
As they watch the long black hull	F
For she brings the storm behind her	A
While before her there is lull	F
	-
With no pilot and unspoken	G
Where the dancing breakers are	A
Presently she veers and races	H
In across the roaring bar	A
Rounds and luffs and comes to anchor	A
While the wharf begins to throng	I
Silence falls upon the women	G
And misgiving stirs the strong	I
Then with some obscure foreboding	B
As a gray haired watcher smiles	J
They perceive the fearless captain	G
Is the Master of the Isles	J
They recall the bleak December	A
Many streaming years ago	K
When the stranger had been sighted	L
Driving shoreward with the snow	K
	-
When the Master came among them	M
With his calm and courtly pride	N
And had sailed away at sundown	O
With pale Dora for his bride	N
How again he came one summer	A
When the herring schools were late	P
And had cleared before the morning	B
With old Alec's son for mate	P
There was glamour with the Master	A
He had tales of far off seas	Q
But his habit and demeanor	A
Were of other lands than these	Q
He had never made the Harbor	A
But there sailed away with him	R
Wife or child or friend or lover	A
Leaving eyes to strain and swim	R
	-
Strain and wait for their returning	B
Yet they never had come back	S
For the pale wake of the Master	A
Is a wandering fading track	S
Just beyond our utmost fathom	T
Is the anchorage we crave	U
But the Master knows the soundings	V
By the reach of every wave	U
Just beyond the last horizon	G
Vague upon the weather gleam	W
Loom the Faroff Isles forever	A
The tradition of a dream	W
There a white and brooding summer	A
Haunts upon the gray sea plain	X
Where the gray sea winds are quiet	Y
At the sources of the rain	X
	-
There where all world weary dreamers	Z
Get them forth to their release	A2
Lie the colonies of the kindred	B2
In the provinces of peace	A2
Thither in the stormy sunset	C2
Will the Master sail to night	D2
And the village will be silent	E2
When he drops below the light	D2
Not a soul on all the hillside	N
But will watch her when she clears	F2
Dreaming of the Port o' Strangers	Z
In the roadstead of the years	F2
Port o' Strangers Port o' Strangers	Z
Where away On the weather bow	G2
Drive her down the closing distance	H2
That's to morrow but not now	G2
	-
What imperial adventure	A
Some wide morning it will be	E
Sweeping in to Lonely Haven	G
From the chartless round of sea	E
How imposing a departure	A
While this little harbor smiles	J
Steering for the outer sea rim	R
With the Master of the Isles	J
