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...THE MAD WOMAN'S SONG by KAREN SWENSON THE EXILE TO HIS WIFE by JOSEPH BRENAN A VALEDICTION: OF THE BOOKE by JOHN DONNE THE SMACK IN SCHOOL by WILLIAM PITT PALMER BLIGHTERS by SIEGFRIED SASSOON THE SWING by ROBERT LOUIS STEVENSON LILIES: 4.
