FAREWELL TO THE MEDITERRANEAN.
Oh! Mediterranean Sea of blue,
Oh! Mediterranean Sea;
How softly the odorous zephyrs woo
Thy waters in their glee.
Oh! Mediterranean Sea;
How softly the odorous zephyrs woo
Thy waters in their glee.
Oh! Mediterranean Sea of blue,
Oh! Mediterranean Sea—
All homage and praises are thy due,
And ever shall they be!
Oh! Mediterranean Sea—
All homage and praises are thy due,
And ever shall they be!
Bright Mediterranean Sea of blue!—
Clear Mediterranean wave!—
I leave sweet memories, warm and true,
Shrined in thy chrystal grave!
Clear Mediterranean wave!—
I leave sweet memories, warm and true,
Shrined in thy chrystal grave!
Oh! Mediteranean Sea of blue,
Fair Mediterranean Sea,
It is sad for me now to say adieu,
And a long adieu unto thee!
Fair Mediterranean Sea,
It is sad for me now to say adieu,
And a long adieu unto thee!
