SEQUATCHIE VALLEY, by CLAUDIA WATSON STEWART
First Line: Sprawled beneath the blue sky's cover
Last Line: For troubled heart and harassed mind!
Subject(s): Sequatchie Valley, Tennessee
First Line: Sprawled beneath the blue sky's cover
Last Line: For troubled heart and harassed mind!
Subject(s): Sequatchie Valley, Tennessee
Sprawled beneath the blue sky's cover,
Lost in drowsy reverie,
While guarding mountains 'round it hover,
Sleeps the valley languidly.
Deaf to the flicker's busy drumming
And the Bob-White's clear refrain,
Lulled by the rhythmic humming
Of a distant aeroplane.
Even the breezes speak in whispers,
Loath to break the peaceful spell,
And all the trees hold silent vespers,
Nodding assent, "All is well."
Could mortals know here lies the physic
They vainly seek and hope to find --
The opiate of sweet contentment
For troubled heart and harassed mind!
