The Land of The Cherokees
(By Ernest Neal)
Have you heard of the land of the
Cherokees,
With its wonderful streams and beau
tiful, trees
Of its flowers abloom and the wild
perfume
That floats like a dream on the even
ing freeze?
Have you heard of Echota, the capital
town,
And the brave old chief with feath
ery crown?
Of the warrior band and pow wow
grand
In the light of the moon when the
sun goes dovA?
Far away in the past this quaint land
lies,
And around it the mists obscure
arise;
It is only in dreams we hear the
shrill screams
Of its eagles afloat in their native
skies.
But its rivers glide on in rhythmical ,
flow
Through fields of today from a weird
long ago; , |
The slow Connesauga, the clear
Oostanaula,
Like their musical names, gurgle soft
and low.
In the laughing of the ripples of the
sweet Sallacoa;
In the falling of the current of the
silvery^Toccoa; I
In the roarings of Tallulah and the
splashings of Yahoola
Are the wild and varied volumes of a
never written lore.
And we list to the song of the sad
Etowah; ,
In its voice is a sob, a refrain from
afar;
While the rough Chattahoochee
makes love to Nacoochee
In the shade of the vale of the Even
ing Star.
From the gold-bearing mountains
comes rich Chestatee;
Through the valleys in the west flows
Coosawattee;
In their music shall roll the Indian
soul
As long as his rivers flow into the
Appier and Fulghum Seed Oats.—
R. C. Roberts.

YOUR LIFE
This is your Jiour, creep upon it!
Summon your power, leap upon it!
Grasp it, clasp it, hold it tight!
Strike it, spike it, with full might!
If you take too long to ponder.
Opportunity may wander,
Yesterday’s a bog of sorrow;
No man evef finds Tomorrow.
