CONCORD BY THE MERRIMACK, by EDNA DEAN PROCTOR Poet's Biography First Line: Serene amid the meadows Last Line: Whose fame is ours forever! Alternate Author Name(s): Dean Subject(s): Concord, New Hampshire; Merrimac (river); New Hampshire | |||
SERENE amid the meadows Her seasons come and go; To north her glorious mountains, Her ocean tides below. No Capital she envies Its peak or plain or river Fair Concord by the Merrimack, Whose fame is ours forever! New Hampshire's treasured story She guards within a shrine As rare as Rome or Athens built To those they held divine; For her sons come back to crown her Their ties they cannot sever Fair Concord by the Merrimack Whose fame is ours forever! Still may the years bring wisdom And honor to her halls; Still her proud sons be eager To serve when valor calls, And see their Capital for aye Of light and joy the giver Fair Concord by the Merrimack Whose fame is ours forever! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...THE LOST WAR-SLOOP by EDNA DEAN PROCTOR THE GROUND-ROBIN by RICHARD EUGENE BURTON NEW HAMPSHIRE by PERCY STICKNEY GRANT CONTOOCOOK RIVER by EDNA DEAN PROCTOR DANIEL WEBSTER by EDNA DEAN PROCTOR EASTER IN THE WHITE HILLS by EDNA DEAN PROCTOR INDIAN SUMMER by EDNA DEAN PROCTOR |
