THE LAND OF PEACH
BLOSSOMS AND
OPPORTUNITY
BY
EMILY BARNELIA WOODWARD

In the great, warm heart of Dixie
where the snowy cotton grows;
Where Miss Peach's dainty blossom
vies in beauty with the rose;
Where majestic, tree-fringed noun
/ tains lift themselves to kiss the
clouds;
Where the sun with friendly fervor
all the land in warmth enshrouds
Where the joyous, singing rivers trail
their way through grass and flow
ers;
There's a land-its name is Georgia
land of rare and wondrous pow
ers.
Here the air is filled with music from
feather vested choir
Tuneful lay of lark and robin,
thrush's note like muted Tyre,
Kingly cardinals gay lifting, modest
dwellings, dulcet coo,
Bob-white's soft and pleading whistle
as he seeks his mate to woo.
Southern breezes, gentle, balmy,
frolic gaiIy DER this land,
Winds that bring distress, disaster.
BY Kind Nature here are banned.
Here the sonw comes with that rare
ness that assures welcome glad,
Here the hill and dale in lowered
frocks are well-night daily clad.
Here the cattle, sleek, contented,
roam upon a thousand hills,
While the song of whirring spindles
sounds from countless busy mills.
Rooted fast in Georgia's soil pros
perity abundant lies;
Linked with human energy, all fail
ure this good land defies.
Here the pine tree, tall, majestic,
with its precious tawny blood,
With its body rich in value, offers
gain in golden flood.
Deep within her sun-kissed bosom
priceless treasures lie unmined--
Silver, gold, coal, iron, marble-min-
erals OF varied klnd.
Wealth of art sleeps yet unmolded in
her hills of rich, red clay.
All about, Gods gifts are waiting,
mans ambition to obey.
In her waters, cool and limpid, silver
belied fishes sport,
Keen concern of enterprise and free,
fun-loving angler court.
In her fields tobacco, cotton, water
melons, luscious, fine,
Peaches, pears, pecans and apples
fortunes soldiers-stand in line.
Close beside this land of magic lies
the sea in broad expanse,
Offering her boundless powers, Geor-
gias riches to enhance.
Everywhere DER her broad acres,
hidden diamonds men await
Men with vision, strength and cour-
age who would serve glorious
In this land so blest by Nature,
there's welcome waiting you,
You will find Miss Opportunity all
smilin at you too;
Shes enthroned in town and city,
beckons to you from the field;
Points the way to peace and plenty,
to a treasure-trove unsealed.
viii you heed her call insistent-
come to Georgia-Dixie's best?
There's no finer place in all Gods
earth to build homing nest.
Come and drink the wine of gladness
from dear Georgia's trimming
bowl;
Come where is sweet refreshment for
the body, mind and soul.
If the kindly hand of Fortune has
already led you here,
Then the call to you is even more i'm
perative and clear;
Consecrate your time and talents to
the service of your state;
Your reward will be to prosper and
homeland rich and great.
