THE GREAT ADVENTURE, by                    
First Line: Grieve not for me who am about to start
Last Line: I, and my restless pioneering heart.
Subject(s): Adventure & Adventurers


Grieve not for me who am about to start
A new adventure -- rather fill a cup
And wish me godspeed for the hidden days --
Come, with the red stuff fill the goblet up,
And drink to one who ever loved new ways:
Ahead, unfurrowed, lie broad fields for me,
Lands unexplored stretch out, a far-flung sea
Is beckoning, and even now, a ship
To bear me, builds in the eternal slip --
Eager, I stand, and ready to depart,
I, and my restless pioneering heart.
