Adventurers

Topics: classic

Seemingly over the hill-tops,     Possibly under the hills,     A tireless wing that never drops,     And a song that never stills.     Epics heard on the stars' lips?     Lyrics read in the dew?     To sing the song at our finger-tips,     And live the world anew!     Cavaliers of the Corts kind,     Bold and stern and strong,     And, oh, for a fine and muscular mind     To sing a new-world's song!     Sailing seas of the silver morn,     Winds of the balm and spice,     To put the old-world art to scorn     At the price of any price!     Danger, death, but the hope high!     God's, if the propose fail!     Into the deeds of a vaster sky     Sailing a dauntless sail.
