I.

Blue sky above, blue sea below,

Far off, the old Nile's mouth, 'Twas a blue world, wherein did blow

A soft wind from the south.

In great and solemn heaves the mass

Of pulsing ocean beat, Unwrinkled as the sea of glass

Beneath the holy feet.

With forward leaning of desire

The ship sped calmly on, A pilgrim strong that would not tire

Or hasten to be gone.
