City of Beauty

City of Beauty standing silently,
strangely beautiful...
dreamlike in your magnificence.
Do you know your beauty?

Do you see us gaze with wonder....
Your silvery edifices guarding the winding
river - flowing like a shimmering ribbon at your feet?
Do you know how you take our breathe away?

And when night falls do you hear how we gasp,
when we glimpse your glittering loveliness
twinkling like fairy light in the indigo sky?
So magnificent, breath taking, superb.
City of Beauty do you know how
truly beautiful you are?
