WAY O'DREAMS

PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND

Thou'rt loved alike of sun and sea,

Of shadowy night and glowing noon;

The smiling stars are kind to thee,

Thou'rt robed in beauty by the moon.

Blow winds of east-blow winds of west,

No matter what the wind may be;

Thou'rt lulled all tenderly to rest,

Beloved of sun-beloved of sea.

Calm twilight waters mirror back

The mystic trees that guard thy shore,

And specks of gold from nature's sack,

The fire-flies flitter o'er and o'er.

Peace waits beside thy woodland trails,

And joy beside thy forest streams.

Some wizardy of thine unveils

The road-the golden road of dreams.
