HOMELAND, by MONNA MERLE RAY First Line: Who would forget ohio? Last Line: Who could forget ohio? Subject(s): Ohio | ||||||||
Who would forget Ohio? Her hills romp to their old mother -- The Appalachian; Can you say when they are loveliest -- In the spring when pearled with dogwood's white? In the autumn as they burn like huge fire opals? Or in winter diademed with snow? And after all There is the peace of summer's green; Would you not have the peace of these hills In your heart? And a majesty like that which sweeps The course of her name-river? As the winds blow, you may be calm Or stormy, like her great lake -- Erie -- But to the homeland you are constant As her ancient hills!
