| O hundred shores of happy climes! How swiftly streamed ye by the bark! At times the whole sea burned—at times With wakes of fire we tore the dark. |
| New stars all night above the brim Of waters lightened into view; They climbed as quickly, for the rim Changed every moment as we flew. |
| We came to warmer waves, and deep Across the boundless East we drove, Where those long swells of breaker sweep The nutmeg rocks, and isles of clove. |
| For one fair Vision ever fled Down the waste waters day and night, And still we followed where she led, In hope to gain upon her flight. |
