AMBERGRIS
In the snare of bewildering fancies. We capture
Delight in the toils of a tress
Rough gilded of sunlight and umber with virginal
shadows of slumber
Ah ! sorrow, regress !
Till the idle abyss of eternity swoon to our pinions
With music of wings as we fly
Through the azure of dreams, and the purple of
mighty dominions
Exalted, afoam in the sky ;
And to us it were wiser and sweeter to ruin the
race of the metre,
And song were to die.
