Dream Haven

Lands unseen are always best--
Landscapes in your mind--
Blessed Islands gleaming west
Cartographers can’t find.

Terra Incognita lies
Past all Southern seas,
Under unknown golden skies
That warm the giant trees.

Animals no man has known
Mammoth fruits and plants,
Palisades of precious stone—
The shoreline of Romance.
