I recently posted a poem for the second day of February. Here’s one for the second week:<\/p>\n
“Driver, what stream is it?” I asked, well knowing
\nit was our lordly Hudson hardly flowing.
\n“It is our lordly Hudson hardly flowing,”
\nhe said, under the green-grown cliffs.”<\/p>\n
Be still, heart! No one needs
\nyour passionate suffrage to select this glory,
\nthis is our lordly Hudson hardly flowing
\nunder the green-grown cliffs.<\/p>\n
“Driver, has this a peer in Europe or the East?”
\n“No, no!” he said. Home! Home!
\nBe quiet, heart! This is our lordly Hudson
\nand has no peer in Europe or the east.<\/p>\n
This is our lordly Hudson hardly flowing
\nunder the green-grown cliffs
\nand has no peer in Europe or the East.
\nBe quiet, heart! Home! Home!<\/i><\/p>\n
