  1. «Last night I had
    The strangest dream
    I'd never had before,
    I dreamt the Ministers
    had all agreed
    To rebuild ships that we adore.

    I dreamt I saw
    A mighty Ship
    And the Ship was named Infante,
    And the people in
    the decks and ball rooms
    Were dancing hand in hand!»

    To INFANTE D. HENRIQUE, with Love
