Not Understood
A priestess of the olden time
(Ere purer rights had birth)
On Nature’s altar offering up
The homage of the earth;
Surrounded by grim Druids robed
In mantles green and grey—
Go, picture this, and then you have
Dunedin from the Bay.

In mantles green and grey—
Go, picture this, and then you have
Dunedin from the Bay.
O never till this breast grows cold
Can I forget that hour,
As, standing on the vessel’s deck
I watched the golden shower
Of yellow beams, that darted
From the sinking king of day,
And bathed in a mellow flood
Dunedin from the Bay.
