New Worlds by Bob MacKenzie Come to me Adelita. What new worlds are hidden in your eyes? I Magellan, who seek you in my circuit, I love you, I love you so! My islands Shine in your eyes. 'Round the world I have sailed upon their waters: In their fire I have found eternal beachhead. Brave new world, I love you so! I wonder what spear waits me on these shores Oh hear the drumming wind. Magellan, I shall claim this beach of yours For you are my Cebu. Raise my standard over your mountains; place my body deep within your hills; Magellan, I come to you. published: Legend, Volume 2, Number 1, Winter 1973 |
