Fabulous sunrise, I know none as serene, almost enough to make me contemplate commando camping, but the specter that inundated my pitched tent every time will not give me peace.
From hence, ye paddler, undeceived,
Know, one false stroke is ne’er retrieved,
And be with caution bold.
Not all that tempts your wandering eyes
And heedless heart, is lawful prize;
Nor all that glisters gold.
