The Kingsport Times, Kingsport, TN - Dec. 14, 1923 The Charms Of Tennessee by Adda C. Hall Have you ever been in Tennessee? Do you know Her Sunny Clime: Have you seen Her fields and wood lands, In the mystic Autumn time? Have you listened to our mocking bird? In the early morning calm? Has the flood of His wondrous music Fell on your soul like balm? Have you seen in the noonday splendor Her golden fields of grain? Have you heard the tinkling music In the patter of the rain? Have you felt the glowing tingle Of the Autumn scented breeze? Have you seen the crimson glory Of the sun set through the trees? Have you watched the purple twilight Oe'r hill and valley fall? Have you heard the cow bells tinkle And the whip-poor-wills lonely call? Have you stood on the crest of the mountain All about you natures charms; And felt Gods Love overlap you? Felt safe in His loving arms? We cannot think that anywhere More happiness can be Than dwells in the hearts of the of the people Among the hills of Tennessee.
