Excerpt from The Scotch-Irish in America: Proceedings and Addresses of the Fourth Congress, at Atlanta, Ga, , April 28 to May 1, 1892 Written and Recited before the Congress by Mr. Frank L. Stanton, of Atlanta. With the voices that rise from her mountains, With the songs of her valleys and plains, With the murmuring ¿ow of her fountains, With the April that dreams in her rains, With the joy of her Spring - the enchanter, Whose roses climb, kissing her mouth, She wafts you her welcome, Atlanta, The queen of the South. Her mountains, her valleys, will sing it No song that is tempered with sighs, Her winds in wild music will wing it To the blue and the answering skies, O, welcome, our friends and our brothers, From the northland, the eastland, the west. Our country - her smile is a mother's, Rest here on her breast. We meet you, we greet you, we glory In your states, in your honors, your names. The whole world is bright with your story, And the wreath on your foreheads is fame's. Clasp hands with us here in the Splendor Of friendship's fair temples and domes, And take from our hands what we render Our hearts and our homes!
