The Blue Ridge Mountains

CHANCELLORSVILLE TO GETTYSBURG P RELUDE

Beautiful Mountains! The Blue Ridge they name you,
Ranges of azure and summits of gold.
Northland and Southland united acclaim you
Love's, while the mists of the morning unfold.
Memory's Blue Ridge Mountains!

Beautiful Mountains! Your Maker appointed —
Long ere America rose from the seas —
You to the struggle of Freedom's anointed,
Sacred and regnant with Love's high decrees.
Destiny's Blue Ridge Mountains!

Beautiful Mountains! Afar is the dreaming —
Marching of armies in hatred's array.
Now meets you, greets you, Old Glory a-streaming,
Flag of the Union and Sign of Love's sway.
Liberty's Blue Ridge Mountains!
