Show KAIMIVI,. On the Eastern shore of Kausas, Hall a million yeai-H or so, I Buck among the jeweled eons. Did I love the Princess Karmyl, Long ago. Bluer than the mists of autumn Were her eyes, and her hair Was as wavy and as yellow As the auubeunut of the morning August air. Mid the purks arouud the palace And the tree-ferns did we stray, Laughing at the tame dlnornls And the petted pterodactyls' Awkward play. 'Neath the palm trees by the ocean Did ve watch the summer gales, Watch the ships from far Atlantis And the Uxmal games with their Linen sails. By the inland Kansas ocean, Half a million years or so, Bade among the silver cycles, Did I love the Princess Karmyl, 'i Long ago. But the ulued-eyed Princess Karmyl Grieved her saddened soul away When I lost my life in Battle, Filiating for her father's kingdom, With Cathay. Years have fled the ocean shallowed When tho great Atlantis sank, Then a change of the equator Made the power of warlike Uxmal Lose its rank. Now the undulating prairie With a wealth of verdaut loam Shows a sea of billows greener . Than when gallloB from Atlantis Plowed the foam. But the blue-eyed little Karmyl With her sunshine is not there; Aud Fear she never will be For they tell me she is living In Altalr. IHO.NQUILL. Altalr, one of the fixed stars. |
