Adelina Patti

Thou Pleiad of the lyric world

Where Pasta, Garcia shone,

Come back with thy sweet voice again,

And gem the starry zone.

Though faded, still the vision sees

The loveliest child of night,

The fairest of the Pleiades,

Its glory and its light.

How fell with music from thy tongue

The picture which it drew

Of Lucia, radiant, warm, and young-

Amina, fond and true.

Or the young Marie’s grace and art,

So free from earthly strife,

Beating upon the sounding heart,

The gay tattoo of life!

Fair Florence! home of glorious Art,

And mistress of its sphere,

Clasp fast thy beauties to thy heart-

Behold thy rival here!
