THOSE that of late had fleeted far and fast

To touch all shores, now leaving to the skill

Of others their old craft, seaworthy still,

Have charter'd this; where mindful of the past,

Our true co-mates regather round the mast;

Of diverse tongue, but with a common will,

Here, in this roaring moon of daffodil

And crocus, to put forth and brave the blast;

For some descending from the sacred peak

Of hoar, high-templed faith, have leagued again
