Sacred Peru

(Poem of Peru)

Fate, if it be not cruel would have me

abide with thee eternity

If I could know but when,

low in the ground I went

I would reminisce and dream,

all the night round…

Of the many-colored beauties

of Peru!



And,

One faithful heart would there be singing—

What though thy name is old:

A thousand years that it was bold,

What true hearts oft gently told,

What now this lowly

Poet vows...!





And to the kindly destines

and all the stars that cross thy path

Bright and chastely fair

Let the ray of your sweet light

And the holy might, of the Almighty

Sink deep into thy unsullied soul

And the heart of thy people…

Peru!
