On this iair valleys vcrdant breast
Tho calm, sweet rays OF summer rest,
Aud dove-like peace bcngnly 5roods
On IT'S smooth lawns and solemn woods.
A century since, in flame and smoke,
rho storm OF ba.nc Ger Il broke,
And, ere the invader turned and fed,
These pleasant Bcds were strcwn with dead,
Stark, quick to act aud bod TO dare,
And Warmers mountain band were there,
AMI Alien, who had flung the pom
Asde 10 lead the Bcrk shire men,
with fiery onset blow on blow,
They rushed upon the emoaitcd foe,
Ana swept his squadrons from tho vale,
Like leaves before tho autumn gale.
Oh never may the purple stain
OF combat blot these fields again,
Nor this fnir valley over cease
TO wear tho placid smile ot peace.
Yet here beside that buttlc field,
We plight the vow that, ere we yield
The rights for winch our fathers b!cd,
Our blood shall steep the ground We Tread.
Tho speeches interpreted with fine music.
This closed the public exercises OF tho day cycept
