From The Birmingham Age Herald, January 20, 1914.
From Africa’s bejeweled sands,
From Norskland’s frozen chambers
I sought a gem as crystal soft
As pure as tear-born ambers.
From Valambrosa’s storied sweets,
From El Dorado’s treasures
I sought the diadem of life
Quintessences of pleasures.
From Arcady, from sunny Spain,
From lands of golden hue
I sought the precious things of earth
And found them all in you.
