nounce football every year as a brutal

TO A SOUTHERN GIRL.

Her eyes
Would match the Southern skies
When Southern skies were bluest
Her heart
Will always take its part
Where Southern hearts are truest;
Bright pearls
The goms of Southern girls,
Her winning smile discloses;
Her cheeks
When admiration speaks,
Were only Southern roses;
Her voice
BY nature and by choice.
Zen those who know her slightest
Will find
As soft as Southern wind
When Southern winds are lightcst
Her laugh
AS light ms wine or chaff,
Breaks clear at witty Rallies,
As brooks
Run bubbling thrnugh the hooks
OF all her Southern valleys.
Such youth
With all ITS charms, forsooth--
Alas, too well know it'll
Will claim
song of love and fame
Sung by some Southern poet;
But she
In future years maybe
These verses will discover,
Some time
May read this little rhyme
Sung by Northern lover.
