by Alfred Tennyson, Lord (1809 - 1892)
Following her wild carol
Language: English
Following her wild carol She led them down the pleasant places, For they were kingly in apparel, Loftily stepping with fair faces. But never more upon the shore Dancing at the break of day, In the deep wood no more, -- By the deep sea no more, -- No more in Xaraguay Wander'd happy Anacaona, The beauty of Espagnola, The golden flower of Hayti!
