CHATTAHOOCHEE (River)
{{Hoyt quote
| num = 2
| text = <poem>Out of the hills of Habersham,
Down the valleys of Hall,
I hurry amain to reach the plain;
Run the rapid and leap the fall,
Split at the rock, and together again
Accept my bed, or narrow or wide,
And flee from folly on every side
With a lover's pain to attain the plain,
Far from the hills of Habersham,
Far from the valleys of Hall.
Sidney Lanier—The Song of the Chattahoochee.

Is white with blossoming cherry-trees, as if just

Do ye hear the children weeping, O my brothers,
Ere the sorrow comes with years?
They are leaning their young heads against their
mothers,
And that cannot stop their tears.
E. B. Browning—The Cry of the Children.
Women know
The way to rear up children (to be just) ;
They know a simple, merry, tender knack
Of tying sashes, fitting baby-shoes,
And stringing pretty words that make no sense,
And kissing full sense into empty words;
Which things are corals to cut life upon,
Although such trifles.
E. B. Browning—Aurora Leigh.
