NATURE'S SONG OF GEORGIA, by VERA MCELVEEN First Line: Down in sunny southland Last Line: Then they never sing them out. Subject(s): Georgia (state) | ||||||||
Down in sunny southland Nature tells the story Of its treasure store in Georgia That is yet to claim great glory. The wind goes whispering through the trees And bids them be content, So good and greatly woods Shall give the Nation recompense. The waters of the rivers laugh As they come tumbling down, To think that they pass hills of clay In which a fortune may be found. The ocean waves ever knocking Against the Georgia coast, Would have her offer made well known That one may claim and boast. The sun and wind agree That since ole Georgia has a share In most of Nature's royal gifts That they put all their climates there. Georgia gives so many themes For the birds to sing about; Songsters stay the whole year through -- Then they never sing them out. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...SHERMAN'S MARCH TO THE SEA by SAMUEL HAWKINS MARSHALL BYERS THE SONG OF SHERMAN'S ARMY by CHARLES GRAHAM HALPINE ETHIOPIA SALUTING THE COLORS by WALT WHITMAN MARCHING THROUGH GEORGIA by HENRY CLAY WORK A TRUCKER BREAKS DOWN by DAVID BOTTOMS |
