SUNRISE FROM THE ALVARADO HOTEL,
ALBUQUERQUE, NEW MEXICO.
“The Alvarado,” on the Santa Fe,
Here oft my eyes have met the break of day;
The red sun rising through the morning mist,
Over the mountains, and the mesa kissed,
Down to the valley, where the shadows deep
Dissolved, and woke the city from its sleep.
Facing the East, the first faint streak of dawn
