THE EMPIRE STATE BUILDING, by FLORENCE ESTELLE BRYANT First Line: Proudly she rears her head on high Last Line: And look in disdain on the old queen's bier! | ||||||||
Proudly she rears her head on high, Stretching her arms into the sky. Fleecy clouds have veiled her eyes From dazzling sunbeams, as daylight dies. The strong wind holds her in his embrace, And boldly strives to uncover her face. In quiet aloofness she towers above Discarded remains of the city's love. Tomorrow, perhaps, a new bride will appear, And look in disdain on the old queen's bier! | Other Poems of Interest...QUA CURSUM VENTUS by ARTHUR HUGH CLOUGH SONG, BY -- by JAMES HAY BEATTIE THE BOSPHORUS REVISITED by SEYMOUR GREEN WHEELER BENJAMIN |
