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)
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.
