. A legend of the sand dunes, Cape Henry, Virginia. oft to nature subtle snares,Beguiling youth that ever unawaresHas lightly played with love till passions loitering along the moonlit sands,His tempting whisper kissed the Princess ear,Who, trembling, doubting, thrilled with joy and fear,As round her softly wound Loves witching bands. Then poising like a startled woodland sprite,With whom her grace and glowing beauty vied,Her lovely eyes alight and wonder-wide,To rapture, stirred the heartbeats of the Knight;Who, earnestly, with lips persuasive tender, lingring kisses wooed, , slyly, nestled close unto his breast,Down Lifes enchanted lane Love smiling led. What recked the Knight of King or titled Old World custom, or its wealth of Nature opened wide her magic doorTo Wonderland, and Loves enchanted while he dreamed his men were often stirredWith thoughts of home, and, growing restless, plannedTo tell the ancient world of this new land,Adventures stranger far than ever O T last he sought the Chief and begged her hand,Who made this rigid test with kingly pride,That he return in spring to claim his bride,And granted, then, Vould find his loves demand,But still he lingered on from day to dayUntil November, when the sails were set,One last embrace of passionate regret—Sweet Princess, I will come again in May.
