good luck

when i remember the days that saw my early childhood spent on the green shores of a murmurous lagoon; when i remember the coolness, delicious and refreshing, that on my face i felt as i heard favonius croon; when i behold the white lily swell to the wind’s impulsion, and that tempestuous element meekly asleep on the sand; when i inhale the dear intoxicating essence the flowers exude when dawn is smiling on the land; sadly, sadly i recall your visage, precious childhood, which an affectionate mother made beautiful and bright; i recall a simple town, my comfort, joy and cradle, beside a balmy lake, the seat of my delight. ah, yes, my awkward foot explored your sombre woodlands, and on the banks of your rivers in frolic i took part. i prayed in your rustic temple, a child, with a child’s devotion; and your unsullied breeze exhilarated my heart. the creator i saw in the grandeur of your age-old forests; upon your bosom, sorrows were ever unknown to me; while at your azure skies i gazed, neither love nor tenderness failed me, for in nature lay my felicity. tender childhood, beautiful town, rich fountain of rejoicing and of harmonious music that drove away all pain: return to this heart of mine, return my gracious hours, return as the birds return when flowers spring again! but o goodbye! may the spirit of good, a loving gift-giver, keep watch eternally over your peace, your joy, your sleep! for you, my fervent pryers; for you, my constant desire to learn; and i pray heaven your innocence to keep!
a tribute to my town
