TRIBUTE TO DUBUQUE, by OPAL A. DENIO First Line: Once more I gaze upon these wooded hills Last Line: Remembered hills and vales where reveries dwell. Subject(s): Dubuque, Iowa | ||||||||
Once more I gaze upon these wooded hills Whose rugged cliffs have seasoned many a storm, Where lazily the Mississippi spills Within the shelter of some steepened form. From out these rocky summits trees are born; Majestic in their beauty here they rise; Their noble heads gift-laden to adorn The city which so far below them lies. Many a lover's moon has shed its gleams Upon some rustic place where starlight fell, These age old bluffs abound with someone's dreams, Remembered hills and vales where reveries dwell. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AUSPEX by JAMES RUSSELL LOWELL THE CLERKS by EDWIN ARLINGTON ROBINSON AMORETTI: 75 by EDMUND SPENSER THE ARGONAUTS (ARGONATUICA): MEDEA'S DREAM by APOLLONIUS RHODIUS PEARLS OF THE FAITH: 19.
