The woods of Appalachia sigh
their songs of ancient times long past,
The soaring trees of Oregon
hold memories hard to heart, and cast
the wondering traveller's mind to times
beyond the books which hold the lines
that speak of legend, gods and kings -
and give him pause, wherein he finds
a Story dark, more deeply drawn
upon his soul in whispered words,
resounding with his joyous youth,
demanding that they still be heard
through shouting calls, exultant cries,
a pionate barbarity,
that rises up to roaring heights
of noble ecstasy.
And thus the Sons American
may love all that, that was once said
by men of erstwhile foreign lands -
in that all men bleed red.
