Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDED FFFFGG HIFJIKL MNFNFF OAOAFFWhere is the world we roved Ned Bunn | A |
Hollows thereof lay rich in shade | B |
By voyagers old inviolate thrown | C |
Ere Paul Pry cruised with Pelf and Trade | B |
To us old lads some thoughts come home | D |
Who roamed a world young lads no more shall | E |
roam | D |
- | |
Nor less the satiate year impends | F |
When wearying of routine resorts | F |
The pleasure hunter shall break loose | F |
Ned for our Pantheistic ports | F |
Marquesas and glenned isles that be | G |
Authentic Edens in a Pagan sea | G |
- | |
The charm of scenes untried shall lure | H |
And Ned a legend urge the flight | I |
The Typee truants under stars | F |
Unknown to Shakespere's Midsummer | J |
Night | I |
And man if lost to Saturn's Age | K |
Yet feeling life no Syrian pilgrimage | L |
- | |
But tell shall he the tourist find | M |
Our isles the same in violet glow | N |
Enamoring us what years and years | F |
Ah Ned what years and years ago | N |
Well Adam advances smart in pace | F |
But scarce by violets that advance you trace | F |
- | |
But we in anchor watches calm | O |
The Indian Psyche's languor won | A |
And musing breathed primeval balm | O |
From Edens ere yet overrun | A |
Marvelling mild if mortal twice | F |
Here and hereafter touch a Paradise | F |
