The France Tower

La Tour Éternelle: A Poetic Ode to the Eiffel Tower

By RAYMOND OGWUPublished about a year ago 3 min read

In the heart of Paris, where dreams take flight,

There stands a monument, gleaming bright,

La Tour Eiffel, with grace and might,

A symbol of love, an architectural delight.

Born of iron, forged in flame,

From the hands of Gustave Eiffel, it came,

A beacon of progress, a whisper of fame,

To the City of Lights, it gave its name.

High above the Seine, it rises tall,

Witness to lovers' moonlit calls,

Silent guardian of the grand ball,

That Paris hosts within its walls.

Its feet anchored in Champ de Mars,

It reaches up to touch the stars,

A lattice of beams, a tapestry of bars,

Reflecting dreams from near and far.

Through wars and peace, it stood its ground,

A timeless beauty, the world-renowned,

In every heart, it does resound,

A testament to what can be found.

Oh, Eiffel Tower, so grand and wise,

You pierce the heavens, touch the skies,

Beneath your shadow, the city lies,

Bathed in the glow of your celestial guise.

With each sunrise, you paint the dawn,

In hues of pink and shades of fawn,

A marvel to gaze upon,

From twilight till the break of morn.

Tourists flock from distant lands,

To touch your iron, to understand,

The magic you hold within your strands,

The dreams you cradle in your hands.

From your summit, the world below,

Is but a patchwork, a gentle flow,

Of life and love, of joy and woe,

A river of stories in an endless row.

Seasons change, yet you remain,

Through summer's heat and winter's rain,

A constant amidst the joy and pain,

A symbol of what humans can attain.

Your lights, they twinkle in the night,

A celestial dance, a pure delight,

Guiding wanderers with their sight,

A beacon shining ever bright.

Under your gaze, poets write,

Of love found beneath your light,

Of kisses stolen in the night,

Of hearts that soar like birds in flight.

Artists sketch your every line,

Capturing beauty so divine,

A masterpiece, a grand design,

That stands the test of endless time.

Children gaze with wondrous eyes,

At your form against the skies,

Dreaming dreams that rise and rise,

To one day touch the Eiffel prize.

Oh, Tower of Paris, proud and tall,

You are the rhythm, the city's call,

A monument that enthralls us all,

In your presence, we feel small.

Yet in that smallness, we find grace,

A connection to the human race,

A glimpse of dreams we long to chase,

Reflected in your iron embrace.

Through the years, you've seen it all,

The rise and fall, the great and small,

Yet still you stand, a testament to Gaul,

A monument that inspires all.

From artists' strokes to lovers' sighs,

From children's laughter to elders' eyes,

You capture all beneath the skies,

A timeless wonder, a cherished prize.

In winter's chill, your iron glows,

Beneath a blanket of pristine snow,

In summer's warmth, a golden show,

Of sunlight setting you aglow.

Springtime brings the blooms anew,

With blossoms framing every view,

A canvas painted in every hue,

A tribute to the dreams we pursue.

Autumn's leaves, in shades of gold,

Fall gently, stories untold,

Of seasons past and memories old,

Of tales that never grow cold.

Your essence, dear Eiffel, transcends,

A symbol where every journey bends,

To find a beginning or an end,

In your presence, hearts mend.

You are more than iron and steel,

You are the heart of Paris, the appeal,

The magic, the love, the surreal,

The dreams that every soul feels.

So here’s to you, La Tour Eiffel,

A marvel, a wonder, a living spell,

A story only time can tell,

Of a tower that stands, invincible.

In every breeze that whispers by,

In every bird that dares to fly,

In every tear, in every sigh,

Your spirit lives, it cannot die.

For you are Paris, and Paris you,

In every shade, in every hue,

A testament to dreams that grew,

From iron forged, to skies so blue.

La Tour Éternelle, we sing your praise,

In poems, in songs, in endless ways,

For in your shadow, our spirits raise,

To touch the stars, to seize the days.

Oh, Eiffel Tower, majestic sight,

Guardian of the Parisian night,

A beacon shining ever bright,

You are our dream, our guiding light.
