More than Fancy's dream enchants,

Deck the booming caves below,

Where green waters ever flow

Under groves of pearl, that grow

In the mermaid's glimmering haunts.

Under spar-enchased bowers,

Bending on their twisted stems,

Glow the myriad ocean-flowers,

Fadeless—rich as orient gems.

Hung with seaweed's tasselled fringes,
