This poem was read at the reunion
by Aunt Sue, and Helen kindly pre-
septed each one there with a Maine
Centennial pin.
There are lands that are fair and gems
most rare
In Kingdoms over the sea.
There are mines of gold with their
wealth untold
Shrouded in mystery;
There are hearts that are true and
skies that are blue.
BY the Danube and the Rhine:
But there's no other land like the
Maine land.
The land of the cliff and the pine.
Many land has its palaces grand
For those of high degree;
Where the proud potentate regales in
state
BETTING nobility.
There are lands of the East where the
heather feast
And kneel at a pagan shrine,
But the best of all lands is the Maine
land,
The land of the cliff and the pine.
There are toil-worn hands in the
Maine land.
Her sons are hardy and bold;
Her daughters fair as the violets rare
That bloom on the summer void.
Let others sigh meath warm southern
sky
Where tropic flowers entwine:
For me there's no land like the Maine
land,
The land of the cliff and the nine
Then no. for the Maine land the
home land,
Ye truants wandered away
From her pine-clad hills and rusbipg
rills.
She's calling for YOU TODAY
Far Ger the deep. when the world is
asleep
You think of your home and mine
In that dear old land, that far-auav
land.
The land of the cliff and the nine
