Lines written on board ship, Sep. 1892
|
Fair Caesarea, loveliest of thy sister isles, Whose verdant brows are wreathed with sunny smiles, Thou waft'st a welcome 'cross the angry main To those who greet thy smiling shores again; Thy rock-ground coast, begirt by azure seas, Thy flow'ry land, be-kissed by balmiest breeze, Thine ever verdant slopes, thy baylets snugly placed Behind each headland, thou art truly graced By loveliness sublime, by Art and Nature dowered; I greet thee, Native Land! I who by mankind soured, Return once more to revel in thy joy, To view each spot I kenned when but a boy.
