THE MOON IS UP
The moon is up: the stars are bright: The wind is fresh and free! We re out to seek for gold to-night Across the silver sea! The world was growing grey and old: Break out the sails again! We re out to seek a Realm of Gold Beyond the Spanish Main. Beyond the light of far Cathay, Beyond all mortal dreams. Beyond the reach of night and day Our El Dorado gleams. Revealing— as the skies unfold— A star without a stain, t he Glory of the Gates of Gold Beyond the Spanish Main. Alfred Noyes.
