Paul Laurence Dunbar - Anchored lyrics

If thro' the sea of night which here summons me, I could swim out beyond the farthest star, Break every barrier of circumstance that bounds me, And greet the Sun of sweeter life afar, Tho' near you there is pa**ion, grief, and sorrow, And out there rest and joy and peace and all, I should renounce that beckoning for to-morrow, I could not choose to go beyond your call.
