BOLÍVAR! Venezuela brings To thee her richest offerings; But bounds are not for fame like thine The continent is still thy shrine; Yea, North and South through thee are one, Thou peer and heir of Washington! And while La Guayra's vale is fair And Ávila climbs proud in air, While Maracaibo's mirror glows And Orinoco seaward flows Thy name, thy glorious deeds shall stand, The bulwark of thy native land. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...COLUMBUS DYING [MAY 20, 1506] by EDNA DEAN PROCTOR SA-CA-GA-WE-A; THE INDIAN GIRL WHO GUIDED LEWIS AND CLARK by EDNA DEAN PROCTOR THE BROOKLYN BRIDGE [MAY 24, 1883] by EDNA DEAN PROCTOR THE LOST WAR-SLOOP by EDNA DEAN PROCTOR TO MOSCOW by EDNA DEAN PROCTOR A CRIMSON CLOVER by EDNA DEAN PROCTOR A HERO OF CARACAS by EDNA DEAN PROCTOR A MECCAN PROPHECY by EDNA DEAN PROCTOR |
