Wonderful river of Munra O! I saw a grey ship with sails of the spider's web all lit with dewdrop lanterns, and on its prow was a scarlet cock with its wings spread far and wide when the gods of the dawn sailed also on Munra O. WONDERFUL RIVER OF MANRA O I SAW A GRAY SHIP WITH SAILS OF THE SPIDER'S WEB ALL LIT WITH DEWDROP LANTERNS AND ON ITS PROW WAS A SCARLET COCK WITH ITS WINGS SPREAD FAR AND WIDE WHEN THE GODS OF THE DAWN SAILED ALSO ON MANRA O
 gardens in the night, to charm our infancy as we slept beneath the sloping gables of the houses of long ago. And Munra-O rolled down her dreams from the unknown inner land and slid them under the golden gates and out into the waste, unheeding sea, till they beat far off upon low-lying shores and murmured songs of long ago to the islands of the south, or shouted tumultuous paeans to the Northern crags; or cried forlornly against rocks where no one came, dreams that might not be dreamed. “Many gods there be, that through the dusk of an evening in the summer go up and down this river. There I saw, in a high barque all of gold, gods of the pomp of cities; there I saw gods of splendour, in boats bejewelled to the keels; gods of magnificence and gods of power. I saw the dark ships and the glint of steel of the gods whose trade was war, and I heard the melody of the bells of silver arow in the rigging of harpstrings as the gods of melody went sailing through the dusk on the river of Munra-O. AS CAME THROUGH REMEMBERED GARDENS IN THE NIGHT TO CHARM OUR INFANCY AS WE SLEPT BENEATH THE SLOPING GABLES OF THE HOUSES OF LONG AGO AND MAN RALLED DOWN HER DREAMS FROM THE UNKNOWN INNER LAND AND SLID THEM UNDER THE GOLDEN GATES AND OUT INTO THE WASTE UNHEEDING SEA TILL THEY BEAT FAR OFF UPON LOW LYING SHORES AND MURMURED SONGS OF LONG AGO TO THE ISLANDS OF THE SOUTH OR SHOUTED TUMULTUOUS PEONS TO THE NORTHERN CRAGS OR CRIED FORLORNLY AGAINST ROCKS WHERE NO ONE CAME DREAMS THAT MIGHT NOT BE DREAMED MANY GODS THERE BE THAT THROUGH THE DUSK OF AN EVENING IN THE SUMMER GO UP AND DOWN THIS RIVER THERE I SAW IN A HIGH BARK ALL OF GOLD GODS OF THE POMP OF CITIES THERE I SAW GODS OF SPLENDOUR IN BOATS BEJUELLED TO THE KEELS GODS OF MAGNIFICENCE AND GODS OF POWER I SAW THE DARK SHIPS AND THE GLIN OF STEEL OF THE GODS WHOSE TRADE WAS WAR AND I HEARD THE MELODY OF THE BELLS OF SILVER ARROW IN THE RIGGING OF HARP STRINGS AS THE GODS OF MELODY WENT SAILING THROUGH THE DUSK ON THE RIVER OF MUNRA O
