Or groan or fear, sorrow and grief,

Clear brow and falcon eye;

Bare foot, bare shoulder in the heat,

And hair like flax? Do their horses beat

Their way through wildernesses infinite

Of starry-crested trees, blue sward,

And gold-chasm'd mountain, steeply shored

O'er lakes of sapphire dye?

Mingled with lisping speech, faint laughter,

Echoes the Phoenix' scream of joyance
