IMPRESSIONS OF BERMUDA, by                    
First Line: Beautiful bermuda, sunny, sleepy isle
Last Line: And resting for a time, in some sweet dell.
Subject(s): Bermuda


Beautiful Bermuda, sunny, sleepy isle,
High winds across white sands, bright purple seas,
Colors of the rainbow hover o'er your leas,
Within a sea of restfulness you sit, in gracious style.
The gorgeous hues of flowers astound one, mile on mile;
The limestone caves appall one, there one sees
Long candlesticks in opalescent frieze;
The clop, clop, clop of horses passes, while
The quiet whirring by of bicycles,
Past gardens, cedars, pines, hibiscus red,
Stirs in us hope that sometime we may dwell,
And ride luxuriously beyond the hills,
Watching the pure white wells, by Heaven fed,
And resting for a time, in some sweet dell.
