Eiffel Tower, Paris, France

  Eiffel Tower The majestic La Tour Eiffel, The pride of France, Rising above all around, So beautiful and heart warming. The heart of Paris, Oh! The Nazi climbers, The heroic French, ‘Take everything, but not the Eiffel!’ The wonder of Europe, All relished it, Was the magic Eiffel- Or Koechlin Nouguier. The dream on Earth, Oh! How fine, how mesmerizing, For the peak of it, The heavens fail to adore! -Devansh Dewra.

Duomo di Milano, Milan, Italy

Duomo di Milano, Milan, Italy The majestic Duomo to Milan, Like Notre-Dame to Paris, It is their pride, Oh! It’s gothic structure. The grand arches,  The magnificent roof, A forest of pinnacles and spires,  Lost in a world of splendor and glory.  Six centuries it took, The exalted figure, Golden Mary protects Milan, Oh! Her golden grace. Higher than everything else, Once a Bach entered Duomo, He fell in love with its harmony, Oh! His melodious symphonies.  Enriched patriarchs and martyrs, What they did not for Italy, Sculpted onto history,  In golden words and diamond shrines. But which mind was it that dreamt it into existence Surely it couldn't be human, could it? It must have been the eye of God that fashioned it Or perhaps it was a dream of the Holy Mother herself. -Devansh Dewra.
