Tribute to My Town 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
