COLUMBUS
Wouldthat we had the fortunes of Columbus.Sailing his caravels a trackless way,He found a Universe—he sought Cathay.God give such dawns as when, his venture o’er,The Sailor looked upon San Salvador.God lead us past the setting of the sunTo wizard islands, of august surprise;God make our blunders wise.

Wouldthat we had the fortunes of Columbus.
Sailing his caravels a trackless way,
He found a Universe—he sought Cathay.
God give such dawns as when, his venture o’er,
The Sailor looked upon San Salvador.
God lead us past the setting of the sun
To wizard islands, of august surprise;
God make our blunders wise.
