LA EXPOSICIÓN.

Joaquin Miller

  • NEW ORLEANS.

  • The banners! The bells! The red banners!
  • The rainbows of banners! The chimes!
  • The music of stars! The sweet manners
  • Of peace in old pastoral times!

  • The coming of nations! Kings bringing
  • Rich gifts to Republics! The trees
  • Of paradise, and birds singing
  • By the bank of De Soto's swift seas!
