IN COvINGTON TOWN.

In Covington town where the land is
a-bloom
With the rarest of flowers of sweet
est perfume;
Where the frogs are a-croak with
their prayers for rain,
Mingling harsh with the list of the
mocker's refrain;
Where the rose throws its scent on
the welcoming air,
And the violet peeps from its cover
let there;
Where the sun shines go gently and
tenderly down
In Covington town. in covington
town!
In Covington town, where the low Of
the kline
Falls softly on this world-weary
bosom of mine,
As sit meath the trees. or contented-
" stray
BY the Bogue Falaya as 1t wends its
meandering way;
Where the God of all nature His
Infinite peace
Scatters down upon hearts that are
seeking surcease
OF the sorrows and woes that are
breaking them down
In Covington town, In Covington
