    Fly, thought, on wings of gold,
    go settle upon the slopes and the hills
    where the sweet airs of our
    native soil smell soft and mild!
    Greet the banks of the river Jordan
    and Zion's tumbled towers.
    Oh, my country, so lovely and lost!
    Oh remembrance so dear yet unhappy!

    Golden harp of the prophetic wise men,
    why hang so silently from the willows?
    Rekindle the memories in our hearts,
    tell us about the times gone by!
    Remembering the fate of Jerusalem
    play us a sad lament
    or else be inspired by the Lord
    to fortify us to endure our suffering!

    HTH,

    Banquo
