HYMN OF PROGRESS, by                    
First Line: Dauntless as the pioneers / that pressed
Last Line: Moving, ever, with the dawn.
Subject(s): Pioneers; Seashore; Ships & Shipping; Beach; Coast; Shore


Dauntless as the pioneers
That pressed onward to the sea,
Half-mad prophets, half-clad seers,
Haunt the road that summons me.

Long the road, obscure the goal,
Beckoning to my troubled soul;
Somewhere in the western sea
Lie the isles that call to me.

When I have finished my long trek,
I shall stand upon the deck
Of my dream ship and sail on,
Moving, ever, with the dawn.
