Here Is a poem based on the Columbus Day

Here is the complete 1492 poem:

IN 1492

In fourteen hundred ninety-two
Columbus sailed the ocean blue.

He had three ships and left from Spain;
He sailed through sunshine, wind and rain.

He sailed by night; he sailed by day;
He used the stars to find his way.

A compass also helped him know
How to find the way to go.

Ninety sailors were on board;
Some men worked while others snored.

Then the workers went to sleep;
And others watched the ocean deep.

Day after day they looked for land;
They dreamed of trees and rocks and sand.

October 12 their dream came true,
You never saw a happier crew!

"Indians!  Indians!"  Columbus cried;
His heart was filled with joyful pride.

But "India" the land was not;
It was the Bahamas, and it was hot.

The Arakawa natives were very nice;
They gave the sailors food and spice.

Columbus sailed on to find some gold
To bring back home, as he'd been told.

He made the trip again and again,
Trading gold to bring to Spain.

The first American?  No, not quite.
But Columbus was brave, and he was bright.
Columbus Day Song
(sung to the tune of "The Farmer in the Dell")

In 1492,
In 1492,
Columbus sailed across the sea,
In 1492.

For 70 days he sailed,
For 70 days he sailed,
Columbus sailed across the sea,
For 70 days he sailed.

He came to a new land,
He came to a new land,
Columbus sailed across the sea,
And came to a new land.

Exploring he did go,
Exploring he did go,
Columbus sailed across the sea,
Exploring he did go.

He sailed back home to Spain,
He sailed back home to Spain,
Columbus sailed across the sea,
Then sailed back home to Spain.

Christopher Columbus
In August 1492,
Columbus sailed the ocean blue.

October 12th they sighted land,
And set their feet upon new sand.

Columbus Day in Spanish - Columbus Day Celebration

This is a the saying of a person in his own thoughts and languages. When I spent my first Columbus Day in Mexico, my first reaction was “Mexico celebrates Columbus Day?” It is embarrassing to recall now, but I think after years of elementary school training, I was conditioned to think “Columbus discovered America” and, in typical egotistical fashion, I assumed “America” referred to the United States. Somehow, even knowing that Columbus landed in the Caribbean and never saw the U.S. didn’t alter my narrow-minded thinking. My teacher said “Columbus discovered America” and my young brain left it at that.



It took just a nanosecond to realize my surprise was illogical. October 12th is a date of enormous significance for the Spanish-speaking world. Before dawn on that day in 1492, Christopher Columbus (Cristóbal Colón) and his crew first spied land from the decks of the Pinta and later that day dropped anchor off the shore of a Bahaman island. By December he had also explored Cuba and the island of Hispañola (today the island shared by Haiti and the Dominican Republic). The “discovery” was made in the name of the Spanish crown, the voyage’s financier. Within fifty years of Columbus’ first voyage, nearly all of Central and South America had been colonized by the Spanish.

So as we have seen that how the Columbus Day is been celebrated in many countries than America as in Mexico (Spain).Columbus Day is avery big fest or event which is been celeberated in different countries in different ways and styles with the same meaning but with different types of feelings and emotions of all the people.They make delicious food and many more things as to keep maintain the joy and happiness on the Columbus Day.
