ALBANIA
        By Enver Sulejman

Her name is Albania, the breathtaking.
She is a snowdrop on the foothills of hope.
        She exhales life: breath her
While with the winds of change you cope.

Her name is Albania, the beautiful.
She is the sunrise of red, yellow and gold.
        If you are tired, lean on her,
Recuperating within eagledomm's fold.

Her name is Albania, the timeless.
She is the legend, the land of sunlight.
Study her anatomy, be part of her flame,
    Hold aloft the torch of eternal light.

Her name is Albania, the magnificient.
She is your sanctuary, your promised land,
And we, her children are her future-
The past and present of our Motherland.
