Ballads of Peace in War

<h2> THE YOUNG ADVENTURERS </h2> <p>We will go adventuring, will you come adventuring,<br/> Hail, to all who sail with us the seven pleasant seas:<br/> All the shores with lily bells, all the flutes of woodland dells<br/> Are calling like a legend upon a fragrant breeze.<br/> <br/> Throw away the haughty cares, children here are millionaires,<br/> Laughter take for baggage and give your laugh a song;<br/> We must sail the seas of grass, round the isles of clover pass,<br/> And delve in leagues of shadowland, when clouds come along.<br/> <br/> Caves are walled with treasure trove, rich as any south-sea cove,<br/> Bullion of the meadow where the gold sun flows;<br/> <br/> Round the reefs of mignonette, up the waves of violet,<br/> Fragrant go our sails and spars with attar of the rose.<br/> <br/> On, gay adventurers, bravely ride the billowy furze,<br/> Golden foil and dewy pearls are swaying to a tune:<br/> Quaff the brew of red raspberry through the vine veils gossamery.<br/> Till we turn when night comes down alleys of the moon.<br/> <br/> Yea, with laughter in our sails and our hearts a book of tales,<br/> Down the silver roadways, a homeward hymn we say:&mdash;<br/> Praise the Lord ye great and small, flower and weed majestical,<br/> For pleasant seas that God gave adventurers today.<br/></p> <p><SPAN name="link2H_4_0033" id="link2H_4_0033"></SPAN></p> <br/> <div style="break-after:column;"></div><br />
