A mechanical ride along the Hudson
from Greene to York,
newly engaged by a lady;
the lady along the Hudson
Ventured Virginia; that land of George;
Yearning for buffaloes
as the Yak-of-west where land is more
now rides along;
as lady along the Hudson
The Hudson
washing tons of Dutch waves
reminiscing in the pulsations of the mind of its passenger;
once on its back in its waters;
now on its banks
along its reflections of past and promise.
Remembered
by a lady along the Hudson
Ah Hudson from G to Y,
river with character;
gluing east to west
promising establishments that will last
if engaged
with that lady along the Hudson
Its passenger, its lady;
she who brought the beginning of an alphabet
among the steam of trains past,
passing mists
stemming from the Hudson’s exhalations
under a setting sun.
She is a lady,
if even so momentarily
or of its Dutch echoes past,
a lady along the Hudson.
