ITALY! BEAUTIFUL LAND!
I
Italy! Italy! beautiful land!
Calmly thy summer sea flows o'er the sand,
Home of the laws and the heroes of old,
History sanctifies all we behold.
Italy! Italy! oh, thou art beautiful!
Calmly thy summer sea flows o'er the sand.
II
Italy! Italy! what tho' I roam,
Gazing in rapture, thou art not my home!
And tho' her climate is changeful and chill,
England, my birth place, is dear to me still.
Italy! Italy! tho' thou art beautiful,
England, my birth place, is dear to me still!
