His soul, proud science never taught to stray,

It strayed itself, and now has lost its way.

Simple nature to his hope has given,

Beyond some cloud-capped hill, a sensual heaven,

Some place where science cannot grope its way,

Nor learning cast one single feeble ray;

No whites disturb. No Christian ’stablish laws.

But he can rest while work is done by squaws.

To loaf contents his natural desire;

He asks no angel’s wings to get up higher,
