By Charles Bancroft
I've seen the Thousand Islands
In the beauty of the dawn;
And sailed on lake Ontario,
When the shades of night were drawn,
I've wondered in Toronto,
Climbed the "Mount" at Montreal;
Run the great St. Lawrence rapids,
Where the waters swirl and fall.
I've slept in the Chateau,
At Quebec, and known the thrill
Of rambling through the "Old Town"
And the for upon the hill.
I've felt the sacred beauty
Of the splendor on Sag'nay;
The warmth of homespun blankets
That were made at Murray Bay.
But in my soul's a hunger
Once again for Tadoussac;
The endless fascination
That calls the folks to prayer,
And as I walk the city streets
My heart is with them there.
Prompt: Write a poem about one of your favorite places that you either live in now, have lived in, or have visited.
