Beloved Land, let me explain to thee

Why thought of nearing death provokes a pain:

'Tis not that I again shall never see

These orient isles of kindly sun and rain;

Not that the visionary spirit must

Forego the wonders she had fondly schemed;

Not that the flesh must soon succumb to dust,

With Love's avowals only half redeemed.

O my beloved Land, whose air I breathe,

Whose bounty is my daily sustenance,

How sad to leave with nothing to bequeath,

Thy weal to serve, thy glory to enhance;

How shameful, finally, to dare to rest

My thankless dust upon thy noble breast!
