And wake to memory's listening ear
The music of the past.
Land of our birth, we love thee!
Thy hills and daIes. thy plains,
Thy forest depths,
Wherein the dancing sunbeams pierce
The eafy shades,
Where frehies light the ystas of the columned asles
And feathered songsters tril their requiem to the
dying day
We love thy bowers, where bloom
The golden iessamine and the rose
Sweetest of all thine incense breathing flowers.
We love thy streams whose laughing waters glass,
Thy beauteous face.
Far from thy fostering arms
Thine errant sons have srayed,
Till now, when Time about their feet has forged
The iron links of age and fate,
With heads low bent beneath the weight OF years
Their thoughts turn back TO thee,
Beloved Southern iand
Weary of lifes unending strife,
Stricken of heart our souls but crave to rest,
To sleep beneath thy sunny skies,
With only God, and thee,
