Analysis of Within the Fog
Steve Cochrane 1955 (Cape)
So many nights are foggy.
It's Hard to find my way,
Especially when groggy
When I have tried all day.
To get through fog so dreary,
My ship may run aground:
It's easy when life's dreary
And help cannot be found.
I finally did notice
Your foghorn in the night
Which filled me with a kind bliss
And then I saw your light.
Much joy and peace were filling
My heart and soul and mind,
Because you were so willing
To share a light so fine.
