The Golden City of St Mary
Out beyond the sunset could I but find the way,
Is a sleepy blue laguna which widens to a bay,
And there's the Blessed City &mdash so the sailors say

The Golden City of St
Had I a golden pound to spend,
My love should mend and sew no more
And I would buy her a little quern,
Easy to turn on the kitchen floor
Clouds rumbling in the sky; teeming rain
I sit on the river bank, sad and alone
The sheaves lie gathered, harvest has ended,
The river is swollen and fierce in its flow
Long ere the Muse the strenuous chords had swept,
And the first lay as yet in silence slept,
A Time there was which since has stirred the lyre To notes of wail and accents warm with fire;

Never a happy song to
Long ago in a poultry
One dull November morn,
Beneath a motherly soft wingA little goose was born
Who straightway peeped out of the
