Analysis of The mighty Hudson
The mighty Hudson
autumn returns giving
mosaic splashes of colors
against the crags of rocks
On sculpted cliffs behind the rolling hills
faces molded in ragged stone
reflected off the waters edge
recede in cascades
of river tides
Up above the palisades
to see such spectacle
Of a river wild and free
Off the northern views
the winds and turns
diverge to varieties of life
all along the Hudson
through tides that slow
and rise to the winds at bay
