Spellbound by a sweet fantasyA
At evenglow I standB
Beside an opaline strange seaA
That rings a sunset landB
-
The rich lights fade out one by oneC
And like a peonyA
Drowning in wine the crimson sunC
Sinks down in that strange seaA
-
His wake across the ocean floorD
In a long glory liesE
Like a gold wave way to the shoreD
Of some sea paradiseF
-
My dream flies after him and IG
Am in another landB
The sun sets in another skyG
And we sit hand in handB
-
Gray eyes look into mine such eyesE
I think the angel's areH
Soft as the soft light in the skiesE
When shines the morning starH
-
And tremulous as morn when thinI
Gold lights begin to glowJ
Revealing the bright soul withinI
As dawn the sun belowJ
-
So hand in hand we watch the sunC
Burn down the Western deepsE
Dreaming a charmed dream as oneC
Who in enchantment sleepsE
-
A dream of how we twain some dayK
Careless of map or chartL
Will both take ship and sail awayK
Into the sunset's heartL
-
Our ship shall be of sandal builtM
Like ships in old world talesE
Carven with cunning art and giltM
And winged with scented sailsE
-
Of silver silk whereon the redN
Great gladioli burnO
A rainbow flag at her mastheadN
A rose flag at her sternO
-
And perching on the point aboveP
Wherefrom the pennon blowsE
The figure of a flying doveP
And in her beak a roseE
-
And from the fading land the breezeE
Shall bring us blowing lowJ
Old odours and old memoriesE
And airs of long agoJ
-
A melody that has no wordsE
Of mortal speech a partL
Yet touching all the deepest chordsE
That tremble in the heartL
-
A scented song blown overseaE
As though from bowers of bloomQ
A wind harp in a lilac treeE
Breathed music and perfumeQ
-
And we no more with longings paleR
Will smile to hear it blowJ
I in the shadow of the sailR
You in the sunset glowJ
-
For with the fading land our fondS
Old fears shall all fade outT
Paled by the light from shores beyondS
The dread of Death or DoubtT
-
And from a gloomy cloud aboveP
When Death his shadow flingsE
The Spirit of Immortal LoveP
Will shield us with his wingsE
-
He is the lord of dreams divineU
And lures us with his smilesE
Along the splendour opalineV
Unto the Blessed IslesE
