ITALY.

Voices from the mountains speak;
Apennines to Alps reply;
Vale to vale and peak to peak
Toss an old remembered cry;
    Italy
    Shall be free!
Such the mighty shout that fills
All the passes of her hills.

All the old Italian lakes
Quiver at that quickening word;
Como with a thrill awakes;
Garda to her depths is stirred;
