First Line: Grey's the sky and every-day like
Last Line: See, and weather foul as this is!
Subject(s): Pride; Self-esteem; Self-respect
GREY'S the sky and every-day like,
And the town still looks afflicted;
Ever weak and castaway like,
In the Elbe its form's depicted.
Long each nose is, and its blowing
Tedious an affair as ever;
All with pride are overflowing,
Both at pomp and cringing clever.
Beauteous South! O, how adore I
All thy gods, thy sky's sweet blisses,
Since these human dregs once more I
See, and weather foul as this is!
