Deep be the draft OF the wine
That pledges our friendship TO you;
No lovelier city than thine
Fer put ON cOurtlter hue
Fer met with heartier cheer
Strangers who d0dbtfully came
To brush OF an alien veneer.
With the sense OF one blood and one nama
Your women, your wine aad your cooks
Other pens aud haneurs may extol-
Our lessons unwrtten In books,
For you've given Us glimpse OF your soul.
Close To the heart OF the South,
Aud fast 10 the hands OF its men,
After years OF self-torturing drOuth.
We nave drunk deep or klnship again.
