No wonder he falls into poetry:
The sun never shone on country

Than beautiful, peerless Florida.
There's life in kiss of her rarified

Florida, prolific Florida.
Our homes are alight with the halo of
love-
Florida, contented Florida.

No clouds ever darken Florida.
When the burdens of life I am called

crown
Than one of the sod of Florida.
And when the last trumpet wades

And the tombs of the earth set thine

You may all go aloft if you choose
but for me
