Tennessee.

Tennessee.
With hills that reach the trembling sky,
And plains that smile below.
Where health and Joy and plenty lie
And comfort looks through beauty's eye
On hopes all golden glow.
She stands In wondrous loneliness
For all loves synonyms
She shines the brightest jewel in
Columbla's crown of gems.
Her history is told in deeds
BY deathless heroes done,
Mid scenes where valor braves and bleeds
And gods themselves grow pale as tweeds
And more than worlds are won;
1t tells Of woman's loyalty
And mans heroic strife,
In those chivalrous days Of yorc-
When freedom sold for life.
1t tells how patriotism sprang
From out her ancient hills
When through the land the brave cry rang,
And warriors yelled and maldens sang,
And woke undying thrills;
Ii tells OF many thousands who
Met deaths unkind alarms,
Aud on their eountrys altar fell
TO die in glory's arms.
II tells OF matchless New Orleans
And Jackson's deadly blow.
Ii tells OF Boone's wild stirring scenes,
And Crockett's name, where interyenes
The pensive Alamo;
1t tells OF earlier days than these,
Whose fame time ne'cr destroys
1t tells Of old Kings Mountain and
The Tall Watauga Boys"
IL tells how on her bosom met
Heroes in blue and gray,
When her puissant face was wet
with streams OF blood that never yet
Marked wars ignoble day;
When conquering arms met arms that knew
No past but victory,
Aud weeping winds bore wa'ling sounds
From Lookout TO the sea.
1t tells how women fair and brave
Nursed soldiers yet to be
Aud loves best labor gladly gave,
And all they had donated, save
Their woman's purity;
How In the darkest hour their faith
Shone on-a beacon light
To guido the footsteps OF the grave
Through doubts tempestlouS night
1t tells OF forum giants in
The gallant oays now gone,
who moved the hearts OF llstenn. men
With eloquence unrlvalled, when
nations eyes werc on;
1t tells OF statesmen made OF Steel
Whose hearts were strong and true,
Who dreamed but Of their country's veal
Aud for her dared TO do.
But better yet than all, it tells
OF present bold increase,
or busy hills and blooming dells
Aud lowing herds and ringing bells
The victories OF peace;
OF manufacture, mining and
OF art and science, too,
And farms, where happiness and love
Make Eden bloom anew.
