O Roma, O Roma! <br />Still under your spell <br />I remember you well <br />and all your aroma. <br /> <br />O potions of Chianti <br />Propelling my feet <br />O sweet dreams <br />Cobwebbing your streets <br /> <br />Your plazas and stradas are my delight <br />Spraying fountain lights quite a sight <br />Where ago and now dance about <br />At noon and with the moon yet shout <br /> <br />O Roma, O Roma <br />Mia Bella, Mia Bella <br /> <br />Where the then and now synchronize <br />With the foolish and the wise <br />Your size is a bit deceiving <br />With more and more I’m seeing <br /> <br />Siesting a love affair <br />At the Spanish Stairs <br />Pleasuring in happy amore <br />From overwhelming heat <br /> <br />O Bella, Bella Roma <br />Farewell- <br />You dream so well <br />Let me dream your dream <br />With all your aroma.<br /><br />Ben Gieske<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/o-roma-o-roma/
