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 PRICE OF WOMEN by KAREN SWENSON THE HURRICANE by WILLIAM CULLEN BRYANT WINTER SONG by LUDWIG HENRICH CHRISTOPH HOLTY THE WIND IN A FROLIC by WILLIAM HOWITT TO SIR HENRY CARY by BEN JONSON MORITURI SALUTAMUS [WE WHO ARE TO DIE SALUTE YOU] by HENRY WADSWORTH LONGFELLOW |
