DIMBOVITZA by ELIZABETH

First Line: DIMBOVITZA! MAGIC RIVER
Last Line: LIES MY DEAREST TREASURE SLEEPING.
Subject(s): RIVERS; ROMANIA; RUMANIA; ROUMANIA;

DIMBOVITZA! Magic river,
Silver-shining, memory-haunted;
He who drinks thy crystal waters
Ne'er can quit thy shores enchanted.

Dimbovitza! all too deeply
Drank I of thy flowing river:
For my love, my inmost being,
There meseems have sunk forever.

Dimbovitza! Dimbovitza!
All my soul hast thou in keeping,
Since beneath thy banks of verdure
Lies my dearest treasure sleeping.
