I	A
We left behind the painted buoy	B
That tosses at the harbor mouth	C
And madly danced our hearts with joy	D
As fast we fleeted to the South	C
How fresh was every sight and sound	E
On open main or winding shore	F
We knew the merry world was round	E
And we might sail for evermore	F
	-
II	A
Warm broke the breeze against the brow	G
Dry sang the tackle sang the sail	H
The Lady's head upon the prow	G
Caught the shrill salt and sheer'd the gale	H
The broad seas swell'd to meet the keel	I
And swept behind so quick the run	J
We felt the good ship shake and reel	I
We seem'd to sail into the Sun	J
	-
III	A
How oft we saw the Sun retire	K
And burn the threshold of the night	L
Fall from his Ocean lane of fire	M
And sleep beneath his pillar'd light	L
How oft the purple skirted robe	N
Of twilight slowly downward drawn	O
As thro' the slumber of the globe	N
Again we dash'd into the dawn	O
	-
IV	P
New stars all night above the brim	Q
Of waters lighten'd into view	P
They climb'd as quickly for the rim	Q
Changed every moment as we flew	P
Far ran the naked moon across	R
The houseless ocean's heaving field	S
Or flying shone the silver boss	T
Of her own halo's dusky shield	S
	-
V	P
The peaky islet shifted shapes	U
High towns on hills were dimly seen	V
We past long lines of Northern capes	U
And dewy Northern meadows green	V
We came to warmer waves and deep	W
Across the boundless east we drove	P
Where those long swells of breaker sweep	W
The nutmeg rocks and isles clove	P
	-
VI	P
By peaks that flamed or all in shade	X
Gloom'd the low coast and quivering brine	Y
With ashy rains that spreading made	X
Fantastic plume or sable pine	Y
By sands and steaming flats and floods	Z
Of mighty mouth we scudded fast	A2
And hills and scarlet mingled woods	B2
Glow'd for a moment as we past	A2
	-
VII	P
O hundred shores of happy climes	C2
How swiftly stream'd ye by the bark	D2
At times the whole sea burn'd at times	C2
With wakes of fire we tore the dark	D2
At times a carven craft would shoot	E2
From havens hid in fairy bowers	F2
With naked limbs and flowers and fruit	E2
But we nor paused for fruit nor flowers	F2
	-
VIII	P
For one fair Vision ever fled	G2
Down the waste waters day and night	L
And still we follow'd where she led	G2
In hope to gain upon her flight	L
Her face was evermore unseen	V
And fixt upon the far sea line	Y
But each man murmur'd 'O my Queen	V
I follow till I make thee mine '	-
	-
IX	F2
And now we lost her now she gleam'd	H2
Like Fancy made of golden air	I2
Now nearer to the prow she seem'd	H2
Like Virtue firm like Knowledge fair	I2
Now high on waves that idly burst	J2
Like Heavenly Hope she crown'd the sea	F2
And now the bloodless point reversed	J2
She bore the blade of Liberty	F2
	-
X	F2
And only one among us him	Q
We please not he was seldom pleased	K2
He saw not far his eyes were dim	Q
But ours he swore were all diseased	K2
'A ship of fools' he shriek'd in spite	L
'A ship of fools' he sneer'd and wept	L2
And overboard one stormy night	L
He cast his body and on we swept	L2
	-
XI	F2
And never sail of ours was furl'd	L2
Nor anchor dropt at eve or morn	M2
We loved the glories of the world	L2
But laws of nature were our scorn	M2
For blasts would rise and rave and cease	F2
But whence were those that drove the sail	H
Across the whirlwind's heart of peace	F2
And to and thro' the counter gale	H
	-
XII	F2
Again to colder climes we came	N2
For still we follow'd where she led	L2
Now mate is blind and captain lame	N2
And half the crew are sick or dead	L2
But blind or lame or sick or sound	L2
We follow that which flies before	F
We know the merry world is round	L2
And we may sail for evermore	F
