Excerpt from The Green River Country, From Bowling Green to Evansville, Its Traffic, Its Resources, Its Towns and Its People: Embracing a History of the Improvements of the Green and Barren Rivers, and a Description of the Minerals and Coal Measures of the Counties Bordering on These StreamsUp where the rocky masses, Their rugged summits rear, Beside the lonely passes And sunless chasms near, Thy rills are softly creeping Among the cedar shades, Or lying idly sleeping In silent grassy glades.Awake, and downward leaping, O'er steep-descending ways, To where the sun-light, peeping, On rock borne lichen plays.Gliding now through arbors green, O'er pebbled pavement, gray, With slower, statelier mien, Thy current takes its way.Thy strength and volume swelling, Now through the forest hoar, Thy murmurs sweetly telling Of bounties in thy store.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
