Then eagerly Columbus sought a sign
In sea and sky and in his lonely heart
Finding, instead OF pressages OF hope,
The black and cminous portents OF despair
As thus he mused he paced the after-deck
And gazed upon the luminous waves astern
Strange life was in the phosphorescent foam.
And through the goblin glow there cairo and
went
Like elfin shadows on an opal sea.
Prophetic pictures Of land he sought
He saw the end Of his victorious quest
He saw blaze on Isabella's breast,
string of antillean Jewels rest
The islands of the west
He saw invading plenty dspOssess
Old poverty, the land with bounty bless
And through the wretched caveIns of distress
Walk star-eyed happiness
He saw the Bourbon and Braganza prone,
For ancient error taIdy 10 atone
Giving the plandered people back their own,
And flying from the throne.
He saw an empire. radiant as the day
Harnessed TO law. but under freedoms sway,
Proundly arise. respcndent in array,
To snow the world the way.
He saw celestial peace in mortal guise.
And, filed with hope and thrilled with high
emprise,
Lifting It's tranquil forehead to the skies,
vast republic rise
He saw, beyond The hills OF golden corn.
Beyond the curve Of autulnns opulent horn,
Ceres and Flora laughingly adorn
The bosom of the morn.
He saw cloth of gold across the gloom,
An arabesque from eyolutions loom,
And from the barren prairies spumc,
Imperial cities bloom.
He saw iron dragon dashing forth
Along an iron thoroughfare-south, north
East west, uniting ia benedeent girth
Remolest ends of earth.
