Rome is flushed and radiant with pride,
For in her heart, romance resides.
A constant blushing maiden
Where many lovers have laden.

This ever-glowing city,
Who in ancient times knew no pity.
Represents an empire of might
Beneath her pretty peach light

Here I long to get lost,
Whatever the cost.
To be found by another?
I never knew what was round the corner.

A tempered chaos of beauty,
Brews gently beneath the antiquity
Of a sumptuous state that makes me real and alive,
Where love, power, mystery, and history can strive.

Her surprises make for perpetual suspense
From holiness to romance, to pure decadence.
Rome can take your breath away
And it is here I wish, always, to stay.
