"There was crying in Granada when the sun was going down, Some calling on the Trinity, some calling on Mahoun; Here pass'd away the Koran, there in the Cross was borne, And here was heard the Christian bell, and there the Moorish horn;Te Deum Laudamus was up the Alcala sung: Down from the Alhamra's minarets were all the crescents flung; The arms thereon of Arragon they with Castille's display; One king comes in in triumph, one weeping goes away."
