MURRAY COUNTY POETRY

Poems by Murray Poets and Poems About Murray County
THE CYCLONE OF GEORGIA
by Waymon R. Roberts

The Dalton Citizen

In Whitfield County, Georgia
Near the Murray County line,
A Tornado came a-sweeping,
And to pray they had no time.
It was on one Monday evening,
Just about 8:10 o'clock,
Perhaps they said, "Lord-a-mercy,"
As their homes began to rock.

A brave little boy tells the story,
After the cyclone passed them by;
He was blown some foreign distance,
Heard his mother's wounded cry.
He covered her with a blanket,
Which was a brave deed, you know;
But she's gone up yonder,
Onto that golden shore.

Oh, dear people, do take warning,
Listen to this awful fate;
There's coming another cyclone,
And it may be then too late,
Let us live this life for Jesus,
So we can enter through the gate;
For the time is a-coming on,
At the fastest kind of rate.
