<div class="poem"><div class="stanza">
<span class="i0">A land there is beyond the sea<br/></span>
<span class="i1">That I have never seen,<br/></span>
<span class="i0">But Johnny says he'll take me there,<br/></span>
<span class="i1">And I shall be a queen.<br/></span>
<span class="i0">He'll build for me a palace there,<br/></span>
<span class="i1">Its roof will be of thatch,<br/></span>
<span class="i0">And it will have a little porch<br/></span>
<span class="i1">And everything to match.<br/></span></div>
<div class="stanza">
<span class="i0">And he'll give me a garden-green,<br/></span>
<span class="i1">And he'll give me a crown<br/></span>
<span class="i0">Of flowers that love the wood and field<br/></span>
<span class="i1">And never grow in town.<br/></span>
<span class="i0">And we shall be so happy there,<br/></span>
<span class="i1">And never, never part,<br/></span>
<span class="i0">And I shall be the grandest queen—<br/></span>
<span class="i1">The queen of Johnny's heart.<br/></span></div>
<div class="stanza">
<span class="i0">Then, Johnny, man your little boat<br/></span>
<span class="i1">To sail across the sea;<br/></span>
<span class="i0">There's only room for king and queen—<br/></span>
<span class="i1">For Johnny and for me.<br/></span>
<span class="i0">And, Johnny dear, I'm not afraid<br/></span>
<span class="i1">Of any wind or tide,<br/></span>
<span class="i0">For I am always safe, my dear,<br/></span>
<span class="i1">If you are by my side.<br/></span></div>
