- | |
Row us out from Desenzano to your Sirmione row | B |
So they row'd and there we landed 'O venusta Sirmio ' | - |
There to me thro' all the groves of olive in the summer glow | B |
There beneath the Roman ruin where the purple flowers grow | B |
Came that 'Ave atque Vale' of the Poet's hopeless woe | B |
Tenderest of Roman poets nineteen hundred years ago | B |
'Frater Ave atque Vale' as we wander'd to and fro | B |
Gazing at the Lydian laughter of the Garda Lake below | B |
Sweet Catullus's all but island olive silvery Sirmio | C |
