All hail to the folk OF old shoreham town!
Each son OF her soil, OF course, must com
e down
r For the miles in the journey of lite he ha
made
When she lays her demand on her childre
q tor aid.
Y Though they wander altar from the home {
their birth,
To them there is no place so dear upon eartt
It Long years may have rolled all their surge
d Yet they cannot efface from the heart page,
r ween,
The times when to pleasure and hope fu
awake,
a We sported IN gladness tween mountain an

Ger the fond fields OF Shoreham we sporte
l. tree,
g The brave boys and fair girls-it was winsom
to see;
And what tancies we dreamed OF the tutur

= Ere the shadow of gloom had beclouded GU
10 day.
ie Oh, the scenes cherished scenes OF our chile
n hood combine
n To endear to us now the glad days of elan

, To compare with its fame and its beautitl
site
g And the men and the women who dwell in il

n Cream Hill, Sugar Hill, Mutton Hill and tn

Il While fast III the center old "Newton" loon

IS And the temples OF worship point on to I'll

Each son OF her soil, OF course, must com
For the miles in the journey OF life he he
