LOVE LAND

Helen Hay Whitney

Where is El Dorado? Where is bright Cathay? These are lands where we should go To live and love to-day.

Miles of glistening beaches Over all the sun, Tropic, spicy-laden breeze To lull when day is done.

Gypsy lass and lover With the tides we'd rove; We be natives of no land Save the land of love.
