Porte de la Mer, Calais

Listen in the reader

The last place where they stopped abroad was Calais, which, you know, Belonged to England once—though that was many a year ago: It has a beautiful old Tower, all weatherworn and brown, And here's the Sea-Gate, opening from the walls that guard the town. But now Farewell to Merry France! the vessel ready waits To take our party back again across the Dover Straits.
