Whose golden shadow wont to quiver

In the stream of Guadalquiver,

Glowing, waving as they hung

Mid fragrant blossoms ever young,

In gardens of romantic Spain,—

Lovely land, and rich in vain!

Blest by nature’s bounteous hand,

Cursed with priests and Ferdinand!

Lemons, pale as Melancholy,

Or yellow russets, wan and holy.
