Ye tinted hills above the wooded plain, Reflect the sunbeams o'er the breaking main Ye hoary peaks, august, in muteness stand, As watchful sentries, guard our noble land, o storm-bound cliffs and precipices bare, o verdant dales and flowering ridges fair, Re-tell thy river's ever-joyous theme, Thy sylvan wild in grande.;ir is supreme. When vernal spring thy rolling valley 'twines With fragrant blossoms and gentle creeping vines, As flees the greyness from the waking dawn All nature rises unto joyous song; The squirrels. chattering, plaon branch anti tree. The timid fawn glides its pathway free, And meadow lark's and robin's morning lay Unto their mates proclaim a welcome day: Then gleams the sunlight on the distant hills, Its glowing ray of bounteous woodland fills, And sparkling diamonds seem the glistening dew, And fairyland bursts on the raptured view. Thy lofty pines, and limpid fountains fair, Thy sunny slopes and flowers without compare.
