SONG OF THE SPANISH WANDERER.
215


O sunshine and song! they are lying far
By the streams that look to the western star;
My heart is fainting to hear once more
The water-voices of that sweet shore.

Many were they that have died for thee,
And brave, my Spain! though thou art not free,
Yet I call them blest—they have rent their chain,
They sleep in thy valleys—my sunny Spain!
