Trees of Miami, beautiful trees...
Truth, rememberance, youth -
of these you brood
In your ancient reveries.
-Percy Mackaye
Flower-sprung from mesas
of the prairied land.
Star-strewn along the hills
and by the sea.
The quiet bastioned citadels
of peace
And gunless fortresses of
freedom-stand the universities.
Percy Mackaye
