How pleasant is the world
where mighty Geni dwell
like a vision is the beauty
of wild forest stream & fell

their palaces arise
from the green and flowry ground
while strains of sweetest music
are floating all around

their castles of bright adamant
all mortal strength defy
encircled round with geni
towering like rocks on high

& now behold that verdant plain
spa[n]gled with star like flowers
watered by purest silver lakes
& crowned with emerald bowers

in the midst appear[s] a palace
of yellow topaz bright
from which streams forth a glory
of sunny golden light

O if the dwellers in this land
heeded their dreadful name
how all the mortal world would sing
their bright & quenchless Fame

But now the eye of hatred
follows where ere they go
in the sea or in the firmament
it tries to work them woe

they may robe themselves in darkness
themselves with lightning crown
they may weild the sword of vengeance
but to them we'll not bow down

they may frame in the dark ocean
high palaces of pearl
mid the silver orbs of heaven
their dragon wings unfurl

& throned on the star's of night
while thunder rolls around
them
but vain shall be the sound
