poem specially written for your columns.
The fishermen of Biscay, q,
The bays of Maine frequented
Long, long ego, but, looking, loi
The Norsemen here had tented
From brumal Iceland sailing far,
And Southwark ever faring,
Above the Ice one teweled star,
smiled down to cheer their daringi
Hail, hail old Maine, III have II 80,
Though eyry gale may round thee blow,
BE g1rted thou with ice and snow,
of states, thou art the fairest.
ii,
The columbine that crowns each steep,
Springs praiSes ever breathing;
Each vernai gem delights to creep
A. though thy forehead wreathing
o Maine, beloved, In ev'ry wind
That sweeps thy pebbed beaches,
Thy children's whispered love find,
For thee each pine beseeches,
Ill.
The Bourbon lilies and the cross
Waved DER Penobscot's islands
Brave coloni-,s met bitter loss
In ryertowns and highlands.
Passafnaquoddy their red blood,
The price Of war, receiving,
Endearing plain, mount, isle and food,
They died, in God believing,
80, hail, old Name our tear drops flow
We love thee, wheresoe'er we go;
We love thy sunshine, rain and snow,
OF all the States the farestl
His thirst the wild deer yet may slake
From lovely forest fountain,
The red man still, by inland lake,
Look on thy noblest mountain.
Primeyal forests still are thine
What giories fringe their edges
When days Of mellow autumn shine,
And game flush silver sedges
see the anfiquary stand
On highest prOmontOry,
Some symbol In his eager hand
That tells of ancient glory.
Ere CharieInagDe won his crown,
or lived the famed Crusader
Names wonders may have brought renown
To bearded, plumed invader,
A hundred isles together sown,
The east winds cradle flowers,
To glass themselves the hills steep down
Where bright floods tell the hours.
The Mystery of the Orient" then,
And fair In every weather.
The pearls of song shall deck thy brow,
Pine Tree state, forever
Hail, hail, old Mainei wen have II So
Though ev'ry gale may round thee blow
BE girted thou with lee and snow,
OF States, thou art the fairest!
