Galapagos, the Loneliness of Thee
Galapagos, o once mighty island
Rising up from the sea
Fertile, green, teeming with life
And lovely as can be
Your majesty exceeded all
And told a different story
Of species that regaled the earth
In different forms of glory
And everywhere, there is beauty
In things which grow and creep
In things which swim and fly
In precious things to keep
For millions of years, these islands
Were jewels of land and sea
Of all things bright and beautiful
In splendid greenery
The fires once that fueled these islands
Are fueling other plates
And yet, in peace and beauty still
Are creatures with their mates
Dear Galapagos, dear island home
The loneliness of thee
Becomes thy time on Mother Earth
Thy lasting legacy
