Jane of Lantern Hill (1)

From Greenland’s Icy Mountains

From Greenland’s icy mountains, 
From India’s coral strand,
Where Africa’s bright fountains 
Roll down their golden sand,
From many an ancient river, 
From many a palmy plain,
They call us to deliver 
Their land from error’s chain. (Verse 1)

Jane of Lantern Hill, chapter 9 (“There was something fascinating about coral strands and icy mountains”).
