 And bid the World our guests to be, 
 In Jewel City by the sea." 
 
 Be strong thy ship, firm steel its prow 
 On frozen breeze now rides t thou;

 Some pearls from deep sea-fairies caves."

 "Sail far above Atlanta s rest, 
 
 Sail far above the ocean s crest, 
 To Western Nations dost thou go 
 The western winds blow sad and low."

 Bid Peace to come, bid Peace remain, 
 More joyous then, be our refrain."

 To where the Rising Sun hast birth; 
 Where thought and effort eons old,

 An arch triumphant in the West, 
 Awaiteth thee, our riMwred guest.

 Royal Court magnificent! 
 
 Electra all her aid hath lent; 
 The Jeweled Stars, the Elements Four, 
 
 The Courtiers are on sea and shore. 
 
 Wise Science planned, great Labor wrought, 
 Fair Art, unto perfection, brought 
 
 These Palace Halls wherein are stored 
 The precious things a World outpoured. 
 
 The King of Jesters, gay and bold, 
 
 Doth merry, merry revel hold; 
 While Music, Flora, many more, 
 
 Keep carnival with Terpsichore. 
 
A rainbow-fairy, moonbeams shook, 
 And all the opaline atoms took, 
 
 To paint the royal robes so rare, 
 
 That softly gleam and shimmer there.

 Their rarest gems for her hath found / \> 
 
 / / ^ *" A 
 
Thou sparkling Tower of rainbow light, 
 A symbol of all things pure and bright, 
 
 While idly here we wait and dream, 
 Thy story read in glisten and gleam. 
 
 The Evil Genii of the Tower, 
 
 Ambition, Greed, and Mis-used Power, 
 Were envious of their choicest Gem, 
 
 And stole it far away from them. 
 
 Then mourning, all the Jewels wailed; 
 
 And grieving, all their radiance paled. 
 Gleamed Hope, the Opal, "Ransom give, 
 
 And then perchance our Queen wilt live." 
 
 Pearls doth gleam, "Pure Thoughts, we send ; " 
 Emeralds glisten, "Love, we ll lend," 
 Agates shimmer, "Health and Life;" 
 Chysolites glow, "Freedom from Strife" 
 
 (" Tis not enough ," the Genii cry, 
 "Give more, or else thy Queen shall die!") 
 Emeralds glisten, "AH Love we ll give, 
 
 If thou wilt let the Gem Queen live." 
 
 Til 
 
Great Love doth Evil Genii slay, 
 The three are buried far away. 
 
 In ecstasy the Jewels shone, 
 
 With joy again their Queen enthrone. 
 
 "Prosperity," the turquoise gleam; 
 
 "True Loyalty," the topaz beam; 
 The amethyst, all Truth wilt show; 
 
 And "Love," the ruby s heart dost glow. 
 
 Now singing color-songs of praise 
 
 These gifts on brightest beams upraise 
 
 The Rainbow Sisters, Children of Light, 
 All upward gleam in beauty, might ; 
 
 Till highest high, their beauty shone, 
 Beside their Queen s resplendent throne, 
 
 And then 
 
 Down showered gifts to the Children of Men ! 
 
 Now radiant gleams, the Queen they lend, 
 In loving homage, low they bend; 
 
 "Thou Queen of queens, Thou Mother Light, 
 great thy power, great thy Might I 
 
 Thy glorious reign shall never cease! 
 
 Thou radiant, diamond, Jewel of
