Can anyone identify the author and year this was written, or any other
information about it. I noted it some years ago in a letter to the editor
that claimed it was a popular song for school children in the 20's or
earlier.

Tell  me of a land that's fair

With the smile of heaven there

Of a land that's ever dearer  as I roam

Where the hills incircling rise

And blue mountains kiss the skies

Oh, that land is old Virginia and my home.

Birthplace of story

Homeland a glory

Thousands of voices

Are singing to thee

With garlands fairest

With heart gems rarest

We crown Virginia

Sweet land of the free.
