A Song of Drake's Men
A Song of Drake's Men Here is a wonderful bit of verse from the fascinating poet, Alfred Noyes along with a beautiful illustration from a little book of Collected Poems.

The moon is up: the stars are bright:
The wind is fresh and free!
We're out to seek for gold tonight
Across the silver sea!
The world was growing grey and old;
Break out the sails again!
We're out to seek a Realm of Gold
Beyond the Spanish Main
