Here are brave pinions that shall take thee far--

Gaunt hulks of Norway; ships of red Ceylon;

Slim-masted lovers of the blue Azores!

'Tis but an instant hence to Zanzibar,

Or to the regions of the Midnight Sun:

Ionian isles are thine, and all the fairy shores!


REMINISCENCE

Though I am native to this frozen zone

That half the twelvemonth torpid lies, or dead;
