Saint Petersburg, the Cultural Hub,
City of Peter, under the White Nights' rub,
Gateway to Europe, Nevograd so grand,
The hero city, known as Leningrad!
In the center, Palace Square stands so grand,
The Winter Palace, a true jewel of the land,
General Staff Building, and Admiralty's embrace,
A ship atop the spire, symbols of grace.
A project laid three centuries in the past,
Hare Island, Peter and Paul Fortress built to last.
Each day, as the clock strikes the bell at noon,
The cannon rumbles, singing its tune.
Museums, theaters, and bridges high,
Sculptures, columns reaching for the sky,
Cathedrals, temples to the sky do vie,
Avenues, parks, where beauty does lie,
Manors, grand estates grace every shore,
Treasures endless, a whole world to explore!
