Ah Love! The Poet's country,
The Dreamer's scarlet Island,
That voluptous shore-
Land there thou! Sample her fruits and eat of her laden trees
Walk her sultry beaches and drink her heady wines,
Oh pilgrim, take your fledgling Lover's ease!
And Tiens! Prepare to see your loved-one there!
Voila! Tis She, smiling at you, standing on the beach,
With a wreath of luscious blossoms in her hair,
Marry, press her, each fair lip to each.
And thine hands entwined and eyes enlightened,
Chant hymns to heaven, moon, and stars above,
Go there Lover! There, where She awaits you,
Ah Marius! Welcome to the Land of Love!
