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...A DAY DREAM by EMILY JANE BRONTE FORGIVENESS by WILLIAM HENRY DAVIES WHEN JOHNNY COMES MARCHING HOME by PATRICK SARSFIELD GILMORE SMALL BEGINNINGS by CHARLES MACKAY CHANGING MOON by EDMUND CHARLES BLUNDEN THE WHITE WATCH (OPUS 28: NO. 3) by GORDON BOTTOMLEY A SPECK ON THE DOT by BERTON BRALEY |
