Over the hills as the pewee flies	A
Under the blue of the Southern skies	A
Over the hills where the red bird wings	B
Like a scarlet blossom or sits and sings	B
	-
Under the shadow of rock and tree	C
Where the warm wind drones with the honey bee	C
And the tall wild carrots around you sway	D
Their lace like flowers of cloudy gray	D
	-
By the black cohosh with its pearly plume	E
A nod in the woodland's odorous gloom	E
By the old rail fence in the elder's shade	F
That the myriad hosts of the weeds invade	F
	-
Where the butterfly weed like a coal of fire	G
Blurs orange red through bush and brier	G
Where the pennyroyal and mint smell sweet	H
And blackberries tangle the summer heat	H
	-
The old road leads then crosses the creek	I
Where the minnow dartles a silvery streak	I
Where the cows wade deep through the blue eyed grass	J
And the flickering dragonflies gleaming pass	J
	-
That road is easy however long	K
Which wends with beauty as toil with song	K
And the road we follow shall lead us straight	L
Past creek and wood to a farmhouse gate	L
	-
Past hill and hollow whence scents are blown	M
Of dew wet clover that scythes have mown	M
To a house that stands with porches wide	N
And gray low roof on the green hill side	N
	-
Colonial stately 'mid shade and shine	M
Of the locust tree and the Southern pine	M
With its orchard acres and meadowlands	O
Stretched out before it like welcoming hands	O
	-
And gardens where in the myrrh sweet June	M
Magnolias blossom with many a moon	M
Of fragrance and in the feldspar light	P
Of August roses bloom red and white	P
	-
In a woodbine arbor a perfumed place	Q
A slim girl sits with a happy face	Q
Her bonnet by her a sunbeam lies	A
On her lovely hair in her earnest eyes	A
	-
Her eyes as blue as the distant deeps	A
Of the heavens above where the high hawk sleeps	A
A book beside her wherein she read	R
Till she saw him coming she heard his tread	R
	-
Come home at last come back from the war	S
In his eyes a smile on his brow a scar	T
To the South come back who wakes from her dream	U
To the love and peace of a new regime	U
