In my childhood rumors ran
Of a world beyond our door
Terrors to the life of man
That the highroad held in store

Of mermaids' doleful game
In deep water I heard tell
Of lofty dragons belching flame
Of the hornèd fiend of Hell

Tales like these were too absurd
For my laughter-loving ear
Soon I mocked at all I heard
Though with cause indeed for fear

Now I know the mermaid kin
I find them bound by natural laws:
They have neither tail nor fin
But are deadlier for that cause

Dragons have no darting tongues
Teeth saw-edged, nor rattling scales
No fire issues from their lung's
No black poison from their tails

For they are creatures of dark air
Unsubstantial tossing form's
Thunderclaps of man's despair
In mid-whirl of mental storms

And there's a true and only fiend
Worse than prophets prophesy
Whose full powers to hurt are screened
Lest the race of man should die

Ever in vain will courage plot
The dragon's death, in coat of proof
Or love abjure the mermaid grot
Or faith denounce the cloven hoof

Mermaids will not be denied
The last bubbles of our shame
The Dragon flaunts an unpierced hide
The true fiend governs in God's name
