Beautiful Virginia

            One need not wait

for the clouds of spring

to feel the touch of blossoms

and see all forms of beauty unfolding

in this sanctuary of country bliss

cherubic birds are always singing

their melodies are kindred spirits

accompanying man through roads a-winding

roads lined with the loveliest trees

the lushest shrubbery nature can bring.

 

            One need not lie awake

in solitary confinement at night

dreaming of fairies and elves

dancing through forests in delight

just come out here to the rolling hills

where the country air saves no room for fright

where the mischievous breeze ruffles one’s hair

as heavenly wings take one in flight

to see all of beautiful Virginia’s sights

that will make one claim this land as his birthright.
