/ Seemingly over the hill-tops, / Possibly under the hills, / A tireless wing that never drops, / And a song that never stills.
/ Epics heard on the stars' lips? / Lyrics read in the dew? -- / To sing the song at our finger-tips, / And live the world anew!
/ Cavaliers of the Cortes kind, / Bold and stern and strong, -- / And, oh, for a fine and muscular mind / To sing a new-world's song!
/ Sailing seas of the silver morn, / Winds of the balm and spice, / To put the old-world art to scorn / At the price of any price!
/ Danger, death, but the hope high! / God's, if the purpose fail! / Into the deeds of a vaster sky / Sailing a dauntless sail.
