Bells of Saint Mary's

When I've seen all the seven wonders,And sailed beyond rainbow’s end.When I’ve crossed the lost horizonAnd discover Nirvana, again.When I’ve conquered El Dorado.When I reign in Shangri-La.When I’ve colonized Utopia,And claim hegemony in Oz.When I’ve slain these restless demonsThat give chase to the sun and the moon,I’ll be back where I started, a pilgrim come home,With the bells of Saint Mary’s chiming at noon.
