PITTSBURGH, by WILLIAM A. PHELON First Line: It's fifteen years since pittsburgh town Last Line: They'll realize their dream! Subject(s): Baseball; Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; Sports; Victory | |||
IT'S FIFTEEN years since Pittsburgh town Has seen a fluttering flag— Year after year they've watched and peered Like an eagle on a crag— And when they almost reached the goal, They'd stumble, droop, and lag. But now the sun shines through the smoke, With bright and radiant beam— The box-scores tell the story of A great and conquering team— Unless they take a fearful dive, They'll realize their dream! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...AN INSCRIPTION FOR DOG RIVER by KENNETH SLESSOR HOW WE BEAT THE FAVOURITE by ADAM LINDSAY GORDON OPPORTUNITY by EDWARD ROWLAND SILL THE GLORIOUS TOUCHDOWN by GEORGE ADE THE WINGLESS VICTORY by WILLIAM HERVEY ALLEN JR.
