NEW ENGLAND POEM.
New England and New Englanders A
Yankee Ballad.

Although not quite so large as yours
We find they serve our turn!
our fisheries DER the world are famed,
The mackerel, shad, and cod
And Taunton turkeys" are so thick,
We sell them by the rod
We turn our very stones to gold
The marble, granite, slate!
And AS for manufactures,
Where Is our rival State?
our cities dot the broad expanse,
Teeming with husy life;
And every village, farm and stream.
With Yankee wealth is rife.
Our churches stand like sentinels,
On valley, hill and plain;
And city spires like forest trees,
Point upward, many a vane'
Nature has favored your New York,
Ii could not well be less;
Boston has grown by human might
This truth all must confess!
Think of her thrift for ten years past
Then please to calculate,
What She will be some ten wears hence,
Progressing at this rate
And beauty minges with our tn lift,
As Boston Common shows;
And Aubmm's mount, where living love
1t kindeSt care bestows.
Old Newport, billow Graded see,
On Rhody's verdant shore;
lis there old Ocean shakes his name,
Resembling evermOre!
New Haven. with IFS shady elms
And Hartford, with its charter
Connecticut. nv native State!
Say, can you find smarter?
The i,Fmpire state is your New York
I grant il hard to mate her
Yet Sill rive me tie "%utmer State
