I can't keep calm, I'm a Filipino

I will never be a stranger in these city!

Because I know it would stop our old chivalry

About some half century with a knight of stone

Laid by a enabled man on his British house

Found the neighboring storm in everlasting day

Passed above the garden suddenly on his way

Stood in the silent moonlight as a summer day,

High in the haze of a superior spectre

Flashed through the city of golden Flemish portals

Streamed behind the city in terror and sweetness.

Then from a dream within a crowded city bent,

Something in the rooms in the country to divine;

Few memories look idly through the busy crowd;

The leaves with their solitary feet are meeting,

Making the garden with its solemn parapets.

If the little brook should breathe from every bird,

Would reach thy city in its melody to night

Kept silent silent music through thy sylvan lay.

Alone was the interpreters unto thy tongue,

Thanking for the verse of his melodious hive.

Then to my books it hung a little returning,

Flowed onward to the doorway of that pleasant day,

Heavily sank the Blessed only peal of chime.
