ick mettle rich blood impulse and love Good and evil O all dear to me	A
O dear to me my birth things All moving things and the trees where I was	B
born the	C
grains	D
plants rivers	E
Dear to me my own slow sluggish rivers where they flow distant over flats of silvery	A
sands	F
or	-
through swamps	G
Dear to me the Roanoke the Savannah the Altamahaw the Pedee the Tombigbee the Santee	H
the	C
Coosa and the Sabine	I
O pensive far away wandering I return with my Soul to haunt their banks again	J
Again in Florida I float on transparent lakes I float on the Okeechobee I cross	K
the	C
hummock land or through pleasant openings or dense forests	L
I see the parrots in the woods I see the papaw tree and the blossoming titi	H
Again sailing in my coaster on deck I coast off Georgia I coast up the Carolinas	M
I see where the live oak is growing I see where the yellow pine the scented	H
bay tree the	C
lemon and orange the cypress the graceful palmetto	H
I pass rude sea headlands and enter Pamlico Sound through an inlet and dart my vision	N
inland	H
O the cotton plant the growing fields of rice sugar hemp	O
The cactus guarded with thorns the laurel tree with large white flowers	E
The range afar the richness and barrenness the old woods charged with mistletoe	H
and	H
trailing moss	K
The piney odor and the gloom the awful natural stillness Here in these dense swamps	G
the	C
freebooter carries his gun and the fugitive slave has his conceal'd hut	H
O the strange fascination of these half known half impassable swamps infested by	P
reptiles	Q
resounding with the bellow of the alligator the sad noises of the night owl and the	C
wild cat	H
and	H
the whirr of the rattlesnake	R
The mocking bird the American mimic singing all the forenoon singing through the	C
moon lit	H
night	H
The humming bird the wild turkey the raccoon the opossum	S
A Tennessee corn field the tall graceful long leav'd corn slender	T
flapping	U
bright	H
green with tassels with beautiful ears each well sheath'd in its husk	V
An Arkansas prairie a sleeping lake or still bayou	W
O my heart O tender and fierce pangs I can stand them not I will depart	H
O to be a Virginian where I grew up O to be a Carolinian	N
O longings irrepressible O I will go back to old Tennessee and never wander more	-
