No Prettier Sight

The Eiffel Tower gives up its power, When seductive Paris we travel through. Mayfair is oft-huddled in a shower, Tahitian lagoons lose their dreamy blue. Little awe Greek islands inspire in me, The romance of the Taj Mahal does pall, An aurora’s magic I’m slow to see, Each place we go I feel I’ve seen it all. The eye no Saharan sky can excite, Few vistas thrill on a hot air balloon. The Arctic presents no breathtaking sight, In Rio I’m hardly over the moon. The loveliest scene pales next to your face, And no glimpse of paradise can amaze.
