New! Afloat beneath the golden sky.
And her tresses of ruddy gold.
And left me a beautiful memory!
And thank you if her flowers you come to buy.
New! As here on the earth's warm breast I lie!
New! Coo, coo, my pretty doves, fly lightly here!
New! Devouring fury, tumult and dismay!
New! Ere my visions I unloose.
New! Ever straight to the mark, for foe or friend!
New! For love is the only ruler here.
New! Freedom and Victory!
Here's a whole family, proud to adore you!
New! I think, my precious, I love you best!
I watch thy slumber; naught shall do thee ill.
I'll feed you and love you the winter through.
New! O that my cry might reach you! I am here!
Oh look at the beautiful water-bloom!
New! Still do they live to this very day.
Than a thousand worlds of gold!
Thou, little sandpiper, and I?
New! To bring us the electric light!
While we share the robin's rapture, crying, "Spring! It is spring!"
