"Far, very far, steer by my star,

Leaving the loud world's hurry and clamor,

In the mid-sea waits you, maybe,

The Isles of Glamour, where Beauty reigns.

From coasts of commerce and myriad-marted

Towns of traffic by wide seas parted,

Past shoals unmapped and by reefs uncharted,

The single-hearted my isle attains.

Seek you the peace of the groves Elysian,

Or the ivy twine and the wands of vine,

The Dionysian, Orphic rite?

To share the joy of the Maenad's leaping

In frenzied train thro' the dusk glen sweeping,

The dew-drench'd dance and the star-watch'd sleeping,
