Nestled on the banks of Mississippi,
Lies a city with unmatched beauty, Keokuk,
With its rivers, Des Moines and Mississippi,
Flowing gently, with a serene look.
The waters that are their lifeline,
Have tales etched deep within,
From the weary travelers to the boats that shine,
It’s a canvas painted with stories akin.
The rustling leaves and fluttering birds,
A symphony of nature, in perfect tune,
The view that through the heart flows chords,
Is like an artist’s perfect boon.
The sun on the horizon, dazzling with glory,
The sky blooming in shades of red and orange,
The reflections that tell a fluid story,
A perfect moment, a beautiful mirage.
From the peaceful silence to the lively waves,
Keokuk and its rivers make a perfect sight,
A place where beauty and nature crave,
Soulful serenity is the only right.
May the rivers forever flow,
And the city forever glow,
Keokuk, you are a gem,
Forever sparkling like a diadem.
