Danielsville, Georgia MADISON COUNTY SINGING CHOIR * The Madison County Singing Choir meets at Bluestone the First Sunday afternoon in June. RED GERANIUMS Life did not bring me silken gowns, Nor jewels for my hair Nor sight of gabled, foreign towns In distant countries fair, But I can glimpse beyond my pane, a green and friendly hill, And red geraniums aflame upon my window sill. The brambled cares of every day, The tiny humdrum things, May bind my feet when they would stray, 1 But still my heart has wings While red geraniums are bloomed a gainst my window glass, | And low above my green-sweet hill the gypsy wind- clouds pass. And if my dreaming* ne'er come true The brightes and the best, But. leave, me. lone, my .journey through I’ll set my heart at rest, I’ll set my heart at rest, And thank. Thee,. God,, for. homo sweet things a green and friendly h:ll And red geraniums aflame upon, my window sill. - . . —Martha Haskell Clark.
