And the aiming watsn Of the bay srs dscked

And then beyond lies Jerssy all blue with

"a foreign land Of pines and sand)
Where people 20 70 the seashore In the hot

Where Kanensi's waters flow thro' sweet ~

And southward looklRg down the bay the

Down DER the land Of peaches that lies be

Below re lies tire city fair einbowered ir
shadOwing trees,
And the hum and sound Of busy werk are
borne upon the breeze.
And underneath the rolling sun no taire
Than dwell within that city fair embowsred
in Ieafy green;
And On this earth no braver heart can . ny

Than walk the strests and work the mills

And every ocean bears their weight fol

They cast the iron car wheels, the chilled
iron paper roll.
And on that paper now hey print the new'

They form the bright morocco from the goat,
well tanned hide,
And the strongest kind OF leather from the

They make most spIendid carriages adorned
with highest art,
The platform wagon and the self.dumpina

They build good locomotives. machines Of
every kiDi,
And make all sorts Of working tools,no better
can you find;
Large quantities OF railroad cars to suit most
any road,
And hist-class parlor matches that 1t Is said

The clustered mills on Brandywine grind out

While cotton mills on either hand weave the
patterns OF the hour
