Excerpt from San Salvador
San Salvador! Jesu's sweet Name
Forever shall this Island bless,
Whither through grace His servants came
Bearing the Word, in humbleness.
San Salvador! The Pinta's crew
Fain would honor Jesu's mother.
Truly the Gentle Virgin knew
Why Her servant spake the Other.
San Salvador! The dove that flew
Athwart our west'ring prow and clung
To sea-wet rigging whilst we drew
With aching eyes to land - some said
Was that pure Spirito Sanctu
Which brooded o'er our Saviors' head
On Jordan day. The midnight flame,
Seen by the watch while we were still
At sea, the Pentecostal Name
Upon this land should write. 'Twas meet,
They said, to honor Spain's great king,
Who from Palos had served the fleet
