How much of my young heart O Spain	A
Went out to thee in days of yore	B
What dreams romantic filled my brain	A
And summoned back to life again	C
The Paladins of Charlemagne	A
The Cid Campeador	B
	-
And shapes more shadowy than these	D
In the dim twilight half revealed	E
Phoenician galleys on the seas	D
The Roman camps like hives of bees	D
The Goth uplifting from his knees	D
Pelayo on his shield	E
	-
It was these memories perchance	F
From annals of remotest eld	E
That lent the colors of romance	F
To every trivial circumstance	F
And changed the form and countenance	G
Of all that I beheld	E
	-
Old towns whose history lies hid	E
In monkish chronicle or rhyme	H
Burgos the birthplace of the Cid	E
Zamora and Valladolid	E
Toledo built and walled amid	E
The wars of Wamba's time	H
	-
The long straight line of the highway	I
The distant town that seems so near	B
The peasants in the fields that stay	I
Their toil to cross themselves and pray	I
When from the belfry at midday	I
The Angelus they hear	B
	-
White crosses in the mountain pass	J
Mules gay with tassels the loud din	K
Of muleteers the tethered ass	J
That crops the dusty wayside grass	J
And cavaliers with spurs of brass	J
Alighting at the inn	K
	-
White hamlets hidden in fields of wheat	E
White cities slumbering by the sea	L
White sunshine flooding square and street	E
Dark mountain ranges at whose feet	E
The river beds are dry with heat	E
All was a dream to me	L
	-
Yet something sombre and severe	B
O'er the enchanted landscape reigned	E
A terror in the atmosphere	B
As if King Philip listened near	B
Or Torquemada the austere	B
His ghostly sway maintained	E
	-
The softer Andalusian skies	M
Dispelled the sadness and the gloom	N
There Cadiz by the seaside lies	M
And Seville's orange orchards rise	M
Making the land a paradise	O
Of beauty and of bloom	N
	-
There Cordova is hidden among	P
The palm the olive and the vine	Q
Gem of the South by poets sung	P
And in whose Mosque Ahmanzor hung	P
As lamps the bells that once had rung	P
At Compostella's shrine	Q
	-
But over all the rest supreme	R
The star of stars the cynosure	B
The artist's and the poet's theme	R
The young man's vision the old man's dream	R
Granada by its winding stream	R
The city of the Moor	B
	-
And there the Alhambra still recalls	S
Aladdin's palace of delight	E
Allah il Allah through its halls	S
Whispers the fountain as it falls	S
The Darro darts beneath its walls	S
The hills with snow are white	E
	-
Ah yes the hills are white with snow	T
And cold with blasts that bite and freeze	D
But in the happy vale below	T
The orange and pomegranate grow	T
And wafts of air toss to and fro	T
The blossoming almond trees	D
	-
The Vega cleft by the Xenil	T
The fascination and allure	B
Of the sweet landscape chains the will	T
The traveller lingers on the hill	T
His parted lips are breathing still	T
The last sigh of the Moor	B
	-
How like a ruin overgrown	U
With flowers that hide the rents of time	H
Stands now the Past that I have known	U
Castles in Spain not built of stone	U
But of white summer clouds and blown	U
Into this little mist of rhyme	H

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
