Thou art beautiful queen of the valley



John Wall Callcott - Thou art beautiful queen of the valley - текст песни (слова)

passages in square brackets are not included in the musical setting  [Hark! from the towers of Aztlan how the shouts
 Of clamorous joy re-ring! the rocks and hills
 Take up the joyful sound, and o'er the lake
 Roll their slow echoes. --] Thou art beautiful,
 Queen of the Valley! thou art beautiful!
 Thy walls, like silver, sparkle to the sun;
 Melodious wave thy groves; thy garden sweets
 Enrich the pleasant air; upon the lake
 Lie the long shadows of thy towers; and high
 In heaven thy temple-pyramids arise,
 [Upon whose summit now, far visible
 Against the clear blue sky, the Cross of Christ
 Proclaims unto the nations round the news
 Of thy redemption. Thou art beautiful,
 Aztlan! O City of the Cymbric Prince!]
 Long may'st thou flourish in thy beauty, long
 Prosper beneath the righteous conqueror, 
 Who conquers to redeem! Long years of peace
 And happiness await thy Lord and thee,
 Queen of the Valley!
