Poem: Urbs Sacra Aeterna

上海龙凤shlf最新地址Poem: Urbs Sacra Aeterna

 

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

上海龙凤shlf最新地址(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

上海龙凤shlf最新地址Thine eagles flew to greet the double sun,

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,

上海龙凤shlf最新地址The prisoned shepherd of the Church of God.

 

上海龙凤shlf最新地址MONTRE MARIO.
