o city fair. thy busy streets
With traffic ebbs and flows.
Serene in summers tranquil warmth,
Unmoved by winters SHOWS.
Thy halls of learning proudly stand
For all that makes life fair.
For moral uplift, culture. art,
True freedom everywhere.
Democracy has here found soil
Rich. fruitful for the seed
That, sown when still her life was
Has met the city's need.
When came the call for patriots true
To hold the torch on high,
That famed the way for Freedom
And bro't just vic'try nigh.
Augusta on the Kennebec:
Whose pleasing waters flow
Has built her factories. turned her mills
And made her hearth-fres glow.
Long may thy busy days endure,
The city's life expand.
The rural populace bring its share
In fruitage from the land.
In righteous ways and true,
Till sister cities follow suit
And grant due praise to you.
Augusta on the Kennebec,
By lovin:: tribute true
May loyal citizens stiii prove
Their homage due to you.
May steady progress light Your path,
Your work move on apace,
Your banner still the front rank hold
For God and Home and State
