GEORGIA HILLS
I love the hills of Georgia.
When Spring is in the air,
H And the red bud and the dog
wood
Are blooming everywhere.
HFhen every tree is budding
And the birds begins to sing,
I love the hills of Georgia,
I love them in the Spring.
I love the hills of Georgia,
When the languor in the air
Whispers o’er hills and valleys
That Summer time is here.
When the fruits and melons ripen
And the cotton fields grow
white
I love the hills of Georgia
With all my strength and might.
I love the jp.ills of Georgia
When the days are growing
cold,
And Autumn’s busy fingers
Tint the leaves with red and
gold,
You can hear the Bob White
call,
I love the hills of Georgia,
I love them in the Fall.
I love the hills of Georgia,
When the winds of Winter
blow,
And you draw your coat around
you
’Mid the flakes of falling snow,
Ever will the hills of Georgia
Fill my heart with love sublime.
I love the hills of Georgia.
I love them all the time!
Mrs. H. D. Loycfc,
