Dreaming of Calais

  Calais is where I used to dwell.   My house above the sea.   Where I could hear the fog horn's bell.   The wind blew wild and free.   There was a path that plunged below,   Across the cliff's old face   And daily to the beach I'd go,   To watch the breakers race   And in their roar, I heard a song   From land that beckoned me.   I knew that I'd be there ere long.   It was my destiny.   Now life to me has been most kind.   I have been blessed I'd say,   But often in the night, I find,   I'm dreaming of Calais   And I can see the harbor there.   The houses and the quay.   The boats that sail through foul and fair,   For fishing every day.   There is a bond to childhood's home,   That never goes away.   No matter where I chance to roam,   I still dream of Calais!
