The Belle Of Bologna - Part 1 Poem by abu tarek md tahsin

The Belle of Bologna

Amidst the old city
Along the churchyards
Where the pigeons sing
And the white doves reside

You can find the voices
Of the Belle of Bologna

But
As dusk draws over the summer sky
You can hear the mournful tune
Of how there once was

The beautiful....the most beautiful
Belle of Bologna

How she walked
alongside the pigeons and the doves
of the city of Bologna

When she was born
On a spring's day
The sky cleared
And flowers bloomed
All along the streets of Bologna

And as she grew older
People grew happier
And diseases and illnesses ended
in the ancient city of Bologna

When she was 16
She strolled
Among the orchards and the gardens
Of the old city of Bologna

The fruit-bearing trees
Bowed in courtesy
And flowers bloomed in ecstasy!

As she was
The beautiful
The most beautiful
Belle of Bologna
