The Hudson
by George Sidney Hellman (1878-1958) |

|
WHERE in its old historic splendor stands
The home of
England's far-farmed Parliament,
And waters of the Thames
in calm content
At England's fame flow slowly o'er their
sands;
And where the Rhine past vine-entwined lands
Courses in castled beauty, there I went;
And far to
Southern rivers, flower-besprent;
And to the icy streams
of Northern strands.
Then mine own native shores I trod
once more,
And, gazing on thy water's majesty,
The
memory, O Hudson, came to me
Of one who went to seek the
wide world o'er
For Love, but found it not. Then home
turned he
And saw his mother waiting at the door. |
