As the sun rises over the Matanzas Bay,
St. Augustine awakens to a brand new day.
The streets come alive with the sound of the bell,
As the Cathedral Basilica tolls its knell.
The scent of orange blossoms fills the air,
As people gather, a sense of community to share.
In the Plaza de la Constitucion, a place to meet,
Where locals and tourists come to greet.
Through the city gates, the horse-drawn carriage ride,
A leisurely pace, a journey back in time.
With each passing block, a new story unfolds,
Of the city's past, its legends, and heroes so bold.
From the oldest schoolhouse, to the Oldest House,
The city's history fills each and every nook and cranny of this town.
With every step taken, a new page turns,
As St. Augustine's story is told and learned.
At night, the city comes alive in a different light,
As the Spanish architecture glows bright.
The St. Augustine Lighthouse's beam shines out to sea,
Guiding ships to shore, to this city's rich history.
St. Augustine, the oldest city in the land,
A treasure trove of stories, of myths and legends so grand.
A city of beauty, of history, and of grace,
St. Augustine forever stands, a timeless and wondrous place.
