Clusters its sea-food within his reach;

The two love on, and the tropical land

And life is a shining haze.

Luiz, Dolores, and baby brown,

With dreamy, passionate eyes—

Far in the past,[839] lured by Saxon wiles,

A simple folk came from the Spanish sea-isles,

Now, tinged with the blood of the creole quadroon

Their children live idly along[840] the lagoon,

Under the Florida skies.[841]
