SAN ANTONIO MEMORIES, by RUDOLPH N. HILL Poet's Biography First Line: Beneath the arches dark, on green Last Line: All loveliness is san antone. Subject(s): Alamo; San Antonio, Texas | |||
Beneath the arches dark, on green, By yellowed walls of ancient stone; Once more, as by that sapphire stream, My heart goes back to San Antone! Through sun-embowered Brackenridge, I, Sunken Gardens walk, alone; And seem to hear strum in my ear An old guitar's quaint, Spanish tone. The lily-pools bloom winter-long, The zoo-cries mix with cascade's moan; From long ago, the Alamo -- Fame -- sleepy -- calls to San Antone. Sam Houston sits upon the heights, And listens to war-eagles drone, His red roofs seen for miles away On sunny days in San Antone. Oh, take me back where palm-fronds sway, And Mexic music greets its own... To San Jose, some holiday... All loveliness is San Antone. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...CLAY OF SAND by RUDOLPH N. HILL PALE DOMES OF PALESTINE by RUDOLPH N.
