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
