Belov'd Meran supremely fair	A
With joy I greet thy peaks anew	B
And quaff again the crystal air	A
That fills thy snow rimmed bowl of blue	B
	-
Once more through miles of trellised vines	C
The purple bloom of vintage glows	D
Once more amid my palms and pines	C
I breathe the perfume of the rose	D
	-
Once more as snow crests far and wide	E
Flush crimson in the Alpine glow	F
I sit and muse at eventide	E
On Roman days of long ago	F
	-
Across the valley steeped in light	E
Uplifted toward the western skies	G
And flanked by many a snow crowned height	E
The stately Roman Terrace lies	G
	-
Whose fair expanse hath been a stage	H
Where actors for two thousand years	I
Have played by turns in every age	H
Their varying roles of smiles and tears	J
	-
Still through its mighty Vintschgau door	K
The sunset streams in floods of gold	E
Still winding o'er its emerald floor	K
The river sparkles as of old	E
	-
I watch the distant torrent leap	L
From ledge to ledge yet hear no sound	E
A ghostly path it seems whose deep	L
Swift channel cleaves enchanted ground	E
	-
Beside its waves whose glittering spray	M
Begems the gorge its flood hath worn	N
Rome's conquering legions made their way	M
A score of years ere Christ was born	N
	-
On yonder mound where frowns the wood	E
And curves the road with steep incline	O
A temple to Diana stood	E
Before the age of Antonine	O
	-
Near Schloss Tyrol's dismantled frame	P
I see the ancient watchtower stand	E
Whence Caesar's guards with smoke or flame	P
Flashed signals into Switzerland	E
	-
And nearer yet Forst's stately walls	Q
Loom grandly from the darkening moor	R
Where still a dungeon keep recalls	Q
The last Tyrolean Troubadour	K
	-
Belov'd Meran the splendid dower	S
That Nature gave to South Tyrol	F
Cannot alone explain thy power	T
To captivate both mind and soul	F
	-
I love thy sunshine fruits and flowers	U
I love thy mountain peaks sublime	V
But best of all thine aged towers	U
The ivied proteges of Time	V
	-
Thus favored while my sun of life	W
Moves calmly toward a cloudless west	E
I crave no more the New World's strife	W
And ceaseless turmoil of unrest	E
	-
Content within my garden walls	Q
To let the Present's uproar cease	X
While on my tranquil spirit falls	Q
The Past's sweet benison of peace	X
