Little Town of Flowers

From the Goodwood Library:  Tallahassee of Yesterday, by Sallie E. Blake, 1924:

TALLAHASSEE

Tallahassee, with sunny skies and lakes of blue

And soft winds wooing hearts so true,

With waving moss and songbird trills,

And happy homes, despite earth's ills;

With joys and friends the heart to cheer

And best of all, beloved ones near:

We love thee, "Little Town of Flowers"

And thank our God who made thee ours.

For 'tis here, the zephyrs are fondest

As they come with the touch of their wings.

'Tis here, the flowers are fairest

And here, that the mocking bird sings.

'Tis here that the trill of the bluebird

Sweetly blends with the oriol's song

As they flit over the meadow and hillside

In the sunlight all the day long.
