"On piercing thorns our fathers trod,
In this bright land of ours;
To soften for their sons the sod,
Now strewn with fruit and flowers."
Miss H. F. Gould.
"Then, the green hills around, look so very pleasant in the sun-shine, with homes nestling among them, like dimples in a smiling face."
Mrs. L. M. Child.
