    Far, far away

    [blank_start]Spain[blank_end]. Fields that glow with colours bright.
    Minaret's shade a lace delight.
    Sad donna on a balcony
    ponders the sunsets alchemy.

    [blank_start]Italy[blank_end]. The clouds are curly,
    sultry air, skies brighten early.
    From the fountains water hurtles.
    Crumbling marbles, tired myrtles.

    [blank_start]Greece[blank_end]. Crags and ruins, quite list,
    sad mountain-tops that ooze the mist.
    The air is thick and bare the rise.
    Flock, shepherd, fir and edelweiss.

    [blank_start]Switzerland[blank_end]. Chamois, mountains: vast.
    Farmstead above the overcast.
    Valleys are dark green, icy ground:
    bite-worthy, clean, the air around.

    [blank_start]Germany[blank_end]. Towns, old houses. Fact:
    timber-framed floors neath roofs are stacked.
    Old wells and jugs, trade-signs on chains,
    fat citizens and narrow lanes.

    [blank_start]France[blank_end]. A frivolous folk, good cheer,
    displays and pictures far and near!
    What bustle, movement, noise and blare:
    bells, horns, machines are everywhere.

    [blank_start]England[blank_end], The fog-banks, the bridges,
    Chimney-stacks smoking on ridges.
    Palaces, parks, a playing field,
    flocks, fat from what the pastures yield.

    [blank_start]Sweden[blank_end]., The lacy fjords descend,
    and with the dark-blue waters blend.
    Huge trees, the crystal seas beyond,
    big-faced the people are, and blonde.

    What plethora of folk, of towns,
    What beauty everywhere abounds!
    How cruel orphan's fate can be:
    all this I cannot ever see!
