Still lookin’ down the distance with the longin’ in her eyes, An’ I know that she’s a-dreamin’ of the light of Georgy skies; Dunno how to cheer her —dunno what to say, But the heart of her I’m readin’ when her eyes, they look that way. 11. “Ain’t this here, too, God’s country, a-smilin* ’round us so? Are the roses any different from the ones we used to know? An’ don’t the birds make music?” But she says —contrary one! — “They ain’t the Georgy mockin’birds a-singin* in tne sun!” 111. How kin a fellow prosper an’ hive Life’s honey comb Here, in this newer country, when a woman’s heart’s back home? When she’s alius breamin' —dreaming of the far off vales an’ hills, The sunshine on the meadows, the lull-song of the rills? IV. Forever an’ forever —winter time an’ May, The dear, bright, dreatnin’ eyes of her are turned the Georgy way; An’ I reckon, ’fore I know it, we’ll be packin' from this place, An’ I’ll see a Georgy inornin’ a-smilin’ in her face.
