At Mdina: AD 2000

I pray in hope this wonder will not fade,
That brimming love this beauty eternize
And years will never hurt what Genius made;
Tomorrow’s lyre will not elegise
This tranquil grandeur aeons nobly laid,
But with fair lays adorn and eulogise.
J. Zammit Tabona, Poet of Mdina.
Donations to the Mdina local council are welcome.
