I. Morn's mystic rose is reddening on the hills, / Dawn's irised nautilus makes glad the sea; / There is a lyre of flame that throbs and fills / Far heaven and earth with hope's wild ecstasy. -- / With lilied field and grove, / Haunts of the turtle-dove, / Here is the land of Love.
II. The chariot of the noon makes blind the blue / As towards the goal his burning axle glares; / There is a fiery trumpet thrilling through / Wide heaven and earth with deeds of one who dares. -- / With peaks of splendid name, / Wrapped round with astral flame, / Here is the land of Fame.
