VERMONT, by WENDELL PHILLIPS STAFFORD Poet's Biography First Line: My heart is where the hills fling up Last Line: Lady of liberty! Subject(s): Vermont | ||||||||
My heart is where the hills fling up Green garlands to the day; 'T'is where the blue lake brims her cup, The sparkling rivers play. My heart is on the mountains still Where'er my steps may be; Vermont, O maiden of the hills, My heart is there with thee! Oh, you may find a prouder dame, With jewel at the ear And richer robe and louder fame, But never face so dear! No queen has had for followers A bolder train of men; And when again the need is hers They shall be hers again! My heart is where the hills fling up Green garlands to the day; 'T is where the blue lake brims her cup, The sparkling rivers play. My heart is on the mountains still; My steps return to thee, Green-hooded maiden of the hills, Lady of Liberty! | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...ORATION: HALF-MOON IN VERMONT by NORMAN DUBIE THE PHOTOGRAPHER'S ANNUAL by NORMAN DUBIE THE CROWS AT 3 A.M. by STANLEY PLUMLY ALBANY BUS STATION by RUTH STONE FALL COMES IN BACK-COUNTRY VERMONT by ROBERT PENN WARREN A SNOW-STORM; SCENE IN A VERMONT WINTER by CHARLES GAMAGE EASTMAN A VERMONT 'DONATION' by DANIEL LEAVENS CADY A FAMILIAR SPIRIT by WENDELL PHILLIPS STAFFORD |
