On the city's paved street
I'lsnt gardens lined with lilac sweet.
Let sprouting fountains cool the air.
Singing in the sun.baked square
Lot statue, picture, park and hall,
Ballad, flag and festival.
The past restore, the day adorn.
And mako each morrow new morn

Spy behind the city clock
Retinues Of airy beings.

HE fathers shining in bright fables.
His children fed at heavenly tables,
'Iis the privilege of Art
Thus to play its cheerful part;

And bend the exilo to his fato.

With the days and firmament
Teach him on these as stairs to climb
And live on ever terms with Time.
