A vessel sails the midnight air
\nMerrily, merrily,
\nWith merchandise of treasures rare
\nIn purple majesty.
\nBright dreams are all its costly freight
\nAnd to the port of souls it glides
\nTo charm, where care was, and make glad.
\nIts choicest wares make strong the sad.
\nI stormy souls serene it rides
\nTo give respite where sorrow rode.
\nAh! Shining argosy!<\/p>\n
That ship casts anchor oft, where I,
\nMy soul in stark dismay
\nFrom days dark torment, restless lie:
\nAnd lulls that torment\u2019s sway.
\nFrom foreign sea and distant land
\nFloat dreams, surpassing Ophir\u2019s waves,
\nThe day\u2019s chief beauties and delight,
\nThe mystic wonders of the night,
\nThe chiefest wealth that vessel bears,
\nMore rich than gems of Samarkand
\nOr pearls from the Cathay.<\/p>\n
