BY THE BALBOA SEAS by CINCINNATUS HEINE MILLER

Poet Analysis

First Line: THE GOLDEN FLEECE IS AT OUR FEET
Last Line: WHERE SOUND AND SING THE BALBOA SEAS.
Subject(s): GOLDEN FLEECE (MYTHOLOGY);

The golden fleece is at our feet,
Our hills are girt in sheen of gold;
Our golden flower-fields are sweet
With honey hives. A thousand-fold
More fair our fruits on laden stem
Than Jordan tow'rd Jerusalem.

Behold this mighty sea of seas!
The ages pass in silence by.
Gold apples of Hesperides
Hang at our God-land gates for aye.
Our golden shores have golden keys
Where sound and sing the Balboa seas.
