Description







Natural Bridge, Virginia IN OLD VIRGINIA I love the mountains wreathed in mist, The twilight skies of amethyst, The groves of ancient oaks sunkissed 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 tills In old Virginia. I love the martial ranks of corn, Their blades agleam with lights of morn, The curtains of the night withdrawn In old Virginia. I love the Ocean's deep toned roar, Surflashed to foam on windswept shore, The sprayborn 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 heacs bowed neath the chastening rod. In old Virginia.
