4 LEGEND or rnp nRANDrwlNE


Written for Gazette and Journal.
History tells unvarnished story
Of vessel wrecked in port,
Laden with rare wines and liquors,
ardent spirits says report;
Tells of how the angry waters
Turned red, at the dark design
OF the eyil-minded people
70 mix with it-Brundy-
And the old books say the stream long
Held the curious taste and smell
Till--'tis whispered--all grew merry
Who by the green banks did dwell;
And, the little sober river
Quite outgrew its olden name.
For the people said I'VE II call it
Brandywine-and give it fame"
But, the books of history say naught
OF the spirit yet, which lies
Meath the waters of the streamlet
ARDENT still-in Loves disguise.
Say naught of the spell he weaves fast
Striving e'er to close entwine
All the hearts of youths and maidens
Strollins on the Brandywine."
History has no word or mention
OF tn intoxicated ranks
That throughout the springtime weather
File along the rivers banks;
OF the couples who at even
Under stars ana summer moon
Wander, heart and heart together
Beating one sweet solemn tunel
Yet the spirit still abdes there
In the waters-in the air,
And the hearts of youth Gun feel it
Radiant round them-eyerywhe
And the eyes of youth can see II
With halo most divine,
Looking out from eyes beside them
Spirit Of the Brandywinel
