IN OLD VIRGINIA
I love the mountains wreathed in mist.
The twilight slice of amethyst.
The goves of ancient oaks sun-kissed
in Old Virginia.
I love the gorgeous trumpet flowers.
Wild rose and honeysuckle bowers.
The woodland incense after showers
In Old Virginia.
I love the laughter of the rills,
Cloud shadows stretched athwart the hills.
The jocund sound of him who till
In Old Virginia.
I love the Ocean's deep toned roar,
Surf-lashed to foam on wind-swept shore.
The spray-born rainbow arching o'er

In Old Virginia.
I love the modest maidenhood,
The deference paid to womanhood.
The chivalric and gentle blood
In Old Virginia.
I love the love of native sod.
The simple faith that trusts in God.
The heads bowed neath the chastening rod.
In Old Virginia.
