Wand'ring with thee in the delicious land, br What visions meet me of those far-off years, br When all my youth's fresh springs of smiles and tears br Lay lock'd beneath the spell of that strong hand br Whose blood is in thy veins.—I gaze on thee, br And think on the great name thy maidhood wears— br That name whose sound circles this lovely shore br With echoes of divinest melody, br Of strains whose mingled grief and glory pour br Triumph and mourning round it evermore,— br That noble name, link'd to a memory br Brighter than the deep splendour of this sky, br And darker than the storms that sweep it o'er,— br That English name—belov'd of Italy.
