are to large extent still bound to the

The hills of Pennsylvania
With tapestries are spread,
And every prince among them
Wears gold upon it's head
| think the King of kings Himself
Must smile to see them So
All standing in imperial robes
To meet His suns full glow!
The pines of Pennsylvania
Last remnant of that host
Which once encamped in millions
And now is all but lost.-
Still faithful to their duty,
They stand to guard this gold,
All green and seeming youthful
While other trees look old.
A thousand color splotches.
From saffron. pale, to brown
1t looks as IL the Master
Had set his palette down
To rest against each hillside
A thousand tongues of flame,
Are silently intoning
The glory of His name!
These are His towering captains,
Dying as heroes die,
Clad In the flush of courage;
Standing against the sky
Shouting to u.s. who falter
And slip in paths of fear
why should we not go grandly.
Springtime will soon be here!"
The hills of Pennsylvania
Go sec them, IL you can.
Learn from them. any season,
To be the more a man.
No one can name their magic
Or spell the strength they give.
But who has seen them understand
How they can help us live.
