Excerpt from The Wonderful Spring, and Other Poems
He sendeth His springs into the valleys which run among the hills, - Psalms 104: 10.
Ave you heard of the wonderful Addison Spring, On the bank of the Elk where the sycamores cling, Where the story Of ages is borne on the breeze, That sighs through the boughs Of the sycamore trees? Here the words of the Psalmist the grateful heart sings Into vales among hills he sendeth his springs.
In this beautiful vale with sweet flowers abloom, Where the sunlight of Eden disperses the gloom Where murmuring waves in soft lullabies fall, And mountains majestic tower' high over all, Amid scenes Of enchantment you bubble and sing, Thou gem of the mountains, fair Addison Spring.
