Classic and Contemporary Poetry
ARIZONA, by MARGARET WHEELER ROSS First Line: Unsung, your light went down the centuries Last Line: With the effulgence of a glorious past. Subject(s): Arizona | ||||||||
Unsung, your light went down the centuries, Unknown your fertile valleys, pregnant mines; Your deep ravines, lace-webbed with tangled vines; Your kine-trimmed hills, pine forests, congeries Of flaming rocks, blending the harmonies Of rainbow colors with the rugged lines Of a Grand Canyon, where Time's book enshrines Long-hidden lore and fabled mysteries. Untold years, lost in savage histories, You stored up wealth and beauty, which outshines Your older sisters, who, by shrewd designs, Restrained you in the race of sovereignties. The Baby Star of States, you came in last With the effulgence of a glorious past. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ARIZONA by SHARLOT MABRIDTH HALL ONE WORD by ALFRED FRANCIS KREYMBORG PHOENIX by CORA HOLBROOK MILCHRIST THE TRYST BY THE GRAND CANON by EDNA DEAN PROCTOR WILD HORSES - ARIZONA by LILIAN WHITE SPENCER ARIZONA POEM by FRANK THIBAULT SPRING IN THE ARIZONA DESERT by GRACE HOFFMAN WHITE LET'S ASSUME IT HAPPENED by SIGMAN BYRD PAINTED HILLS OF ARIZONA by EDWIN CURRAN CATECHISM FOR THE CLUBWOMAN by MARGARET WHEELER ROSS |
