MISSISSIPPI" ;"
(By Juliet Howe Harmon J

(By Juliet Howe Harmony
When Northern foothills gentl,
reach,
! To wondrous port off southern beach
The border line of Tennessee
New-opened gateway to the sea-
Fair Mississippi.
From Eastern plain to rivers shore
(The sunsets royal couch of gold,
One open house of bounteous store,
Like Egypt's granary of old,
Is Mississippi.
Here nature, with prolific zest,
Fill plenty's horn with lavish hand,
From North to South, from East te
West,
Anew and fairer Canaan-land,
Is Mississippi.
Her corn-cribs, with their yellow
yield,
Are Golfers filled with shining gold,
The verdure of each teeming field,
The green-backs which the people
hold,
In Mississippi.
In virgin forests lie concealed,
Far richer than Galconda S mines,
Mid snow Of every cotton field,
A Klondike which a fortune shines,
In Mississippi.
In mineral springs, whose cooling
drink,
Bring healing in its sparkling foam,
We find within each crystal brink,
Our magic Carlsbad here at home,
In Mississippi.
Nor need we seek meath alien skies,
A balmy cline in foreign lands,
For, fair as Eden-felds, there lies,
Our Riviera on the sands,
LII MioS1oo1PPAs
Nor state, nor county, far or near,
A prouder, purer past may claim,
Nor nobler names that we revere
Immortal-in the Hall of Fame
Of Mississippi.
Here I first caught the sunlight's ray,
Along the rivers sunny side,
Here let me spend my little day,
To work till falls the even-tide,
In Mississippi.
To lie at last in her great heart,
To sleep beneath her verdant sod,
To Heaven on soaring wing depart,
(This my prayer, Oh gracious GodD
From Mississippi.
