THE lonesome for they know not what — The Eastern exiles be, Who strayed beyond the amber line Some madder holiday.
And ever since the purple West They strive to climb in vain — As birds that tremble from the clouds Do fumble at the strain The blessed ether taught them Some transatlantic morn, When heaven was too common to miss, Too sure to dote upon.
