Where is the world we roved Ned BunnA
Hollows thereof lay rich in shadeB
By voyagers old inviolate thrownC
Ere Paul Pry cruised with Pelf and TradeB
To us old lads some thoughts come homeD
Who roamed a world young lads no more shallE
roamD
-
Nor less the satiate year impendsF
When wearying of routine resortsF
The pleasure hunter shall break looseF
Ned for our Pantheistic portsF
Marquesas and glenned isles that beG
Authentic Edens in a Pagan seaG
-
The charm of scenes untried shall lureH
And Ned a legend urge the flightI
The Typee truants under starsF
Unknown to Shakespere's MidsummerJ
NightI
And man if lost to Saturn's AgeK
Yet feeling life no Syrian pilgrimageL
-
But tell shall he the tourist findM
Our isles the same in violet glowN
Enamoring us what years and yearsF
Ah Ned what years and years agoN
Well Adam advances smart in paceF
But scarce by violets that advance you traceF
-
But we in anchor watches calmO
The Indian Psyche's languor wonA
And musing breathed primeval balmO
From Edens ere yet overrunA
Marvelling mild if mortal twiceF
Here and hereafter touch a ParadiseF
