My Lemon-Tree Island

I know the land
where the lemon-tree flowers
Autonomous region in Sicily
Those beautiful beaches
seducing the travellers
Sicani people around 8,000 B.C.

I know the land
where the lemon-tree flowers
the largest island in the Med sea
Greek temples and churches
to while away hours
Natural wonders a plenty

I know the land
where the lemon-tree flowers
Mount Etna craters and much legacy
Such majestic buildings
and archaeology
My lemon-tree island in Italy
