From Windmills To Tulips


From Central Station in Old Amsterdam,
Across several roads to jump on a tram.
There are bikes in abundance, hanging from trees,
Chained up to handrails, in twos and in threes.

There aren't many houses, but thousands of flats,
Lining the edges of Amsterdam Straats.
See the Signel Canal, its fragrance afloat;
With flowers and bulbs, all on sale, in boats.

We'll see the flea market at Waterlooplein,
And where Anne Frank wrote; her secret domain.
From windmills to tulips, Picasso, Cézanne,
To red lights and ‘romance,' Monet, Mondriaan.

From the sidewalk cafés of Old Rembrandt Square,
To a canal and barge, where I'll end my affair;
With a small cobbled street, and board the next tram,
To get back to the station, in Old Amsterdam.
