Love Is Fleeting, But Land Is Eternal
Love is fleeting, but land is eternal,
Give me a world, a corner of my own
Filled with forests and fields and minerals
By the shores of the emerald ocean,
Give me the hills and valleys and amber
Arbors by the snowy peaks and gorges,
And upon this generous gift I shall
Build bustling cities, tasteful towns and quaint
Villages, I shall pave roads and till the land,
Plant lush groves and splendrous English gardens,
Creating a wondrous Eden of my own,
So that my ideals may be always known
By even generations yet unborn!
