Far over seas an island is / Whereon when day is done / A grove of tossing palms / Are printed on the sun.
And all about the reefy shore / Blue breakers flash and fall.
There shall I go, methinks, / When I am done with all.
Have I no castle then in Spain, / No island of the mind, / Where I can turn and go again / When life shall prove unkind?
Up, sluggard soul! and far from here / Our mountain forest seek; / Or nigh enchanted island, steer / Down the desired creek.42
