Firm the jeaamine .and woodbine?

To the woo<ls of Caroline.
Have you gathered bright red holly."

From the great oak's lofty dome? ' .

Linger in your memory fond?
Do you hear again iu fancy
A quaint old Southern song,
That you heard while sitting tinder
V sighing, waving
Then, you'll b^ar the South a-eall^x,
Calling back to Caroline,
Are you longing for Kldoru.
The hand that knows no gloom, *
Wb.cro- the sun is always shining.
Audi t"he flowers ever bloom?
Would you see the brilliaut sunsets
Iu their gorgeous 'tints sublime?
Then, you'll hear the South a-calling.
And yod'll come to Caroline.
