    She comes majestic with her swelling sails,
    The gallant Ship: along her watery way,
    Homeward she drives before the favouring gales;
    Now flirting at their length the streamers play,
    And now they ripple with the ruffling breeze.

Morn on the waters, and purple and bright
Bursts on the billows the flushing of light
O'er the glad waves, like a child of the sun,
See the tall vessel goes gallantly on.

The barge she sat in, like a burnished throne,
Burned on the water: the poop was beaten gold;
Purple the sails, and so perfumed that
The winds were lovesick with them; the oars were silver,
Which to the tune of flutes kept stroke, and made
The water which they beat to follow faster,
As amorous of their strokes.

And her ropes are taut with the dew,
For we're booming down on the old trail, our own trail, the out

We're sagging south on the Long Trail, the trail that is always
