Chorus
Oh, take me to the land of passages
Gliding on a distant sea.
Set me down beside the sunset-shadowed sky
To dwell where the eagles fly.
Far away I see the gleaming peaks
Hov'ring high above the earth.
Silently, in stately majesty
They will usher out the sunset fading north.
Rank on rank, the sombre cedar trees
March away their endless mile.
Evergreen, where sight has never seen
They cover every hill and clothe each solitary isle.
