And princesses with ivory crowns,

And girls in green, moon-spangled gowns

Shall aid our high assault till we

Have passed beyond the Topaz Sea;

And found the quests that made us meek,

Whose very names would burn the cheek

With worship and with ecstasy,

Those rippled names on which we cry—

Those eyes we saw a while agone—

But there’s adventure to be won!
