I sailed up a river with a pleasant wind, + 

New lands, new people, and new thoughts to find; + 

Many fair reaches and headlands appeared, + 

And many dangers were there to be feared; + 

But when I remember where I have been, + 

And the fair landscapes that I have seen, + 

Thou seemest the only permanent shore, + 

The cape never rounded, nor wandered o’er. + 
