Bathed in mondays radiant glory
Or the moons soft silv'ry beams.
Those fair hills OF Old Virginia.
They are ever in my dreams!
And the cadenc'd Hitting ripple
Morning. noon, and all day long
or those rills Of Old Virginia,
They are ever in my song!
Land of mountains. land of meadows.
Land OF balmy skies and blue,
Land whose Lord Is God Jehovah.
Land where hearts are ever true.
Land OF isle Tyrannis Sempcr,"
Land where freedoms born Of truth.
Land where right Is ruling passion
With old age and manly youth!
Wreathed in violets OF springtime.
ROBBED In winters crystal snow,
CARRIED In summers regal blossoms,
Or in autumn's Furnished glow
0 those hills OF Old Virginia,
They are ever in my dreams,
Bathed In mondays radiant glory,
Or the moons soft slv'ry beamsI
When my twilight hour has fallen
And my shadow seeks It's rest,
When kind friends are speaking soft-

And my spirit has gone Vests
Let me sleep beneath tho green sod,
Near the music OF those rills.
Where the rhododendron's blooming
Mid my lov'd Virginia hills!
