Where no foot of man has fared,

To a Gas-log grove primeval,

Where I find me, mute, and scared

Of—I know not—Goblins, Banshees,

And the ancient Gas-trees toss

Gnarled and flickering giant branches,

Hoary with asbestos moss.

Now I come to where are waving

Painted palms, precisely planned,

Rearing trunks of cocoa shaving,
