Sweet morning swims
From yonder parted clouds, and my fair isle―
Fairer than Tempe, on earth's distant shore,
Fairer than Hera's lucid domes―grows bright,
And sunshine gilds its peaks.

And sunshine gilds its peaks.
A land of beauty, where dim silver threads
Faint into purple vapour from the rocks,
Where lilies and eternal asphodel
Light the far plains or gem the darkling groves;
We love Ogygia—this our dear domain.
