Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. These are the hills, unshaken and sublime!<br>These are the grottoes and the cosy bowers<br>The years rolled by, the days, the hours -<br>My hair grew white - O, Father Time!<br><br>I plucked for you some fairy flowers!<br>And what I felt - I sing in rhyme!<br>But still the deepest of the showers<br>Resounds in Texas hist'ry chime!<br><br>What can be dearer to the heart?<br>What ties are binding more serene?<br>What love is sweeter to impart?<br>What love is keeping evergreen?
