TRIBUTE TO DUBUQUE, by                    
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.
