large apple tree, but when cultivated, is
never allowed to grow more than ten or

When first it shoots out it is red, and chan

and appears when in full blossom to cover
the garden. After hearing so much OF the
spicy gales from this island, was much

Pm proud thy glorious hills to roam,-
Though humblesl of the throng,

In Natures gushing song.
Green Mountain State, love
The silence of thy glen;
The verdure of thy forest groves,
The tones of mountain wind.

Nor broad, afflnent West;
The land where health and peace combine,
That land is still the best.
My own Green Mountain State, weave
An humble song for thee;
And to thy hills and valleys breathe
Its numbers wild and free;
With heart elate thy woods roam,
And sunny hooks between;
And sportively bind my brow
With smiling evergreen.
Ny own Green Mountain State, climb
ThyIwild, oerhanging steep,
And watch the clouds roll TN the gale
With pold and easy sweep;
And back to deeds Of daring high
My quicksned memory turns:
When freedom lit her signal fires
On rank oppression's urns.
My own Green Mountain State, read
On hstory's page thy name;
And mark thy patriots names writ high
Upon the scroll of fame:
There Alien, chief Of rugged worth,
In matehless splendcr shines;
And Warner, friend through veal and wo,
Engraved on freedoms shrine.
My own Green Mountain State, Thy sons
Have swelled the victory on;
When Stark rolled on The living storms
O'er fields of Bennington;
And later years have shown how well
This trust thy children keep,
As sorrowing tear drops often tell
Where Scott and Ransom sleep!
NV own Green Mountain State, the muse
Has sung thy fiowery woods;
And geniys loves to rvam amid
The mountain soltudes--
See SAKE, with keen, sarcastic mirth,
Der care and spleen prevail;
And Thompson move with easy grace
Along the instructive tale
NV own Green Mountain State, thy sons
Are in the halls of art;
See Powers enshrine in senseless stone
Each feeling of the heart;
And Kinney with aspiring eye
His noble task perform
While swells beneath his skllful touch
The hero's gallant form.
NY own Green Mountain state-'tis mine
To sing thy rural scenes,
Thy wales with crystel waters lined,
Thy mountains ever green;
ask not wealth in distant mine,
Nor broad atfiuent West;
The land where health and peace combn,,
That land is still the best.
