Where the mansions left are grand
In the tmmemorial beauty
Or the old Virginia land.
Through the potato fields al Tasley,
To Cape Charles beside tho sea;
Watching through the dusk for East

And it's old Virginia, true
Meath these centuried oaks OF story
And this juniper and yew

Not alone q strip of sand.
But the fertilest field of fancy
In the world-Virginia land
Smell the forests dark and deep
Where the train is laundering by;
How the shadows through them creep
How the blue Is in the sky. =

And through every mile Ii goes

From the liberal smile of God
