That far vast land that few behold,

That old old land which men call new,
land old as time is old.That as
The solemn silence of that plain,
rideWhere unmanned andtempests reign,
It awes and it possesses you

that men misunderstandAnd ;signs
A land of and dreams : a landspace
Of salt and dried seassea, lakes, up ;
A land of caves and caravans,
And wells andlonely pools.
