Book Cover & Preview Text
IN SEARCH OF THE LOST In search of the lost Seven Cities of gold Incan glory; Spanish plunder and English wonder Whatever happened to the Seven Cities of Gold? Like Camelot and the court of Kubla Khan Buried beneath the pages of history past Now, only visible to the discerning eye? Whatever happened to the Seven Cities of gold? The court of Kubla Khan and Camelot? And the English wonder! To some lost glory did the ancients travail? To some lost golden horde To somewhere and something lost in time A hearth, a home, a family, a sojourn unknown Whispers to some forlorn passerby Here, we once stood and made our lives So, the search of the lost continues A lost soul to be found If not the cities of gold
