The Grandest City Park

By Delwin Rees Buckner

Each pleasure-loving city has her park, With flowers and grass a growing everywhere In sun-filled summer hours, but bleak and bare In days of snow, and dismal after dark, E'en where lone sentry lamps launch forth a spark Of light, or fireflies flitting through the air, Or orbs that glow within the grated lair Of some bloodthirsty, savage jungle shark. But all the parks of earth can not compare With that above, in New Jerusalem, Where night nor winter ever have been seen, Whose avenues are paved with gold; and there Clear waters, sparkling like the brightest gem, Bathe tree trunks, topped with foliage ever green.
