FIRE FOR THE ALIEN, by LAURA VEACH CLARK
First Line: White buildings cap the brown hills
Last Line: And cheers the alien guest.
Subject(s): Sun
First Line: White buildings cap the brown hills
Last Line: And cheers the alien guest.
Subject(s): Sun
White buildings cap the brown hills,
Reflecting the glitter of the noonday sun
Which gleams above the blue waters of the bay.
Banked against the bleak white walls,
The fire of giant red geraniums warms the chill air
And cheers the alien guest.
