<p class="margin-b">
To-day the Distance is superb,<br/>
Without bridle, spur or curb,<br/>
Let us mount on the back of wine<br/>
For Regions fairy and divine!<br/>
<br/>
Let's, like two angels tortured by<br/>
Some dark, delirious phantasy,<br/>
Pursue the distant mirage drawn<br/>
O'er the blue crystal of the dawn!<br/>
<br/>
And gently balanced on the wing<br/>
Of some obliging whirlwind, we<br/>
—In equal rapture revelling—<br/>
<br/>
My sister, side by side will flee,<br/>
Without repose, nor truce, where gleams<br/>
The golden Paradise of my dreams!<br/></p>
