Simon Danz has come home again	A
From cruising about with his buccaneers	B
He has singed the beard of the King of Spain	C
And carried away the Dean of Jaen	C
And sold him in Algiers	D
	-
In his house by the Maese with its roof of tiles	E
And weathercocks flying aloft in air	F
There are silver tankards of antique styles	E
Plunder of convent and castle and piles	E
Of carpets rich and rare	F
	-
In his tulip garden there by the town	C
Overlooking the sluggish stream	G
With his Moorish cap and dressing gown	C
The old sea captain hale and brown	C
Walks in a waking dream	G
	-
A smile in his gray mustachio lurks	H
Whenever he thinks of the King of Spain	C
And the listed tulips look like Turks	H
And the silent gardener as he works	H
Is changed to the Dean of Jaen	C
	-
The windmills on the outermost	I
Verge of the landscape in the haze	J
To him are towers on the Spanish coast	I
With whiskered sentinels at their post	I
Though this is the river Maese	K
	-
But when the winter rains begin	C
He sits and smokes by the blazing brands	L
And old seafaring men come in	C
Goat bearded gray and with double chin	C
And rings upon their hands	L
	-
They sit there in the shadow and shine	C
Of the flickering fire of the winter night	M
Figures in color and design	C
Like those by Rembrandt of the Rhine	C
Half darkness and half light	M
	-
And they talk of ventures lost or won	C
And their talk is ever and ever the same	N
While they drink the red wine of Tarragon	C
From the cellars of some Spanish Don	C
Or convent set on flame	N
	-
Restless at times with heavy strides	O
He paces his parlor to and fro	P
He is like a ship that at anchor rides	O
And swings with the rising and falling tides	O
And tugs at her anchor tow	P
	-
Voices mysterious far and near	Q
Sound of the wind and sound of the sea	R
Are calling and whispering in his ear	S
'Simon Danz Why stayest thou here	S
Come forth and follow me '	-
	-
So he thinks he shall take to the sea again	C
For one more cruise with his buccaneers	B
To singe the beard of the King of Spain	C
And capture another Dean of Jaen	C
And sell him in Algiers	D
