You stand regal and proud
retelling tales of battles won
of poets and grandeur
of your days in the sun
Time has not been kind
Your lustre has grown dull
Still your conceit is resilient
You defy the journey from haughty to humble
Yet your beauty remains
Your verdant countryside
Your ripe vineyards
Nature’s gifts are Eden-like
While your leaders have betrayed
And your riches may have dried
Your dignity remains
And your majesty continues to survive
