Poem: Urbs Sacra Aeterna

上海龙凤shlf最新地址Poem: Urbs Sacra Aeterna

 

上海龙凤shlf最新地址Rome! what a scroll of History thine has been;

上海龙凤shlf最新地址In the first days thy sword republican

上海龙凤shlf最新地址Ruled the whole world for many an age's span:

Then of the peoples wert thou royal Queen,

Till in thy streets the bearded Goth was seen;

And now upon thy walls the breezes fan

(Ah, city crowned by God, discrowned by man!)

The hated flag of red and white and green.

When was thy glory! when in search for power

Thine eagles flew to greet the double sun,

上海龙凤shlf最新地址And the wild nations shuddered at thy rod?

上海龙凤shlf最新地址Nay, but thy glory tarried for this hour,

When pilgrims kneel before the Holy One,

The prisoned shepherd of the Church of God.

 

MONTRE MARIO.
