Sun-smitten the cloud that hid the soaring dome
Of Liberty, your Palace and your Home.
We who are free greet you from sea to sea.

Mazzini, Garibaldi, great Cavour
Watch now and greet you from their timeless place,
Whence they behold the growth of your great race
Which so they knit that long it should endure.
Spectators of eternity, whose pure,
Untarnished brows recall their ancient grace,
