But, as mountains to the river,
The river to the sea-
So the hills did filter ever,
Their waters unto me.
As years rolled by, I grew in length;
And spreading more and more,
Until at last in current strength,
I raised the Shenandoah.
From hill and dale, I onward sped Past "Harewood's" mansion gray
From hill and dole, I onward sped Through fields of corn and hay.....
