| | | I SEE, I see the domes ascend, | |
| O Seville, o’er thy Guadalquivir: | |
| I see thy breeze-touched cypress bend; | |
| I hear thy moonlit palm-grove shiver. | |
| |
| I know that honor here to those | 5 |
| Who suffered for the Faith is given; | |
| I know, I know that earthly woes | |
| Are secret blessings crowned in heaven. | |
| |
| But ah! against Dunluce’s crags | |
| To watch our green sea-billows swelling! | 10 |
| And ah! once more to hear the stags | |
| In Coona’s stormy oakwoods belling! | | | | |
