yERMONT-AN IMPROMPTU
Dedicated to President Coolidge.
Oh, land of dale and hill
Of woods and murmuring rill,
Or mountains soaring high
Into the deep blue sky,
Or picturesque wales, where hooks
Beside the babbling brooks
Shelter u hardy race,
Where sturdy strength and grace
Adorn fair Natures face
OF thee 4 sing
Vermont, TO thee I bring
A wreath Of joy and pride,
A tribute true and tried
by all that's worth the name
Of an enduring fame
Though We may roam afar
Where shines the Western star
Or meath the stately palm
where skies are SOFT and calm,
Oh, ne'er forgot will be
Thy old-time witchery
Thy patient sires. the Green Mountain Boys,
Fought bravely for freedom from tyrant
and foe
Yet warfare forgotten, no peacefuller joys
Ihan dwell with thy children no people can
show
tnnoted by fashion. God fearing serene
Earning their bread by the sweat of the
brow.
True in their friendships and gentle of mien.
ihelf word Is as good Il bond or a VOW
Ger Champlan's siIYery stream,
Where poets feat and dream
And city dwellers fleet
Find there a cool retreat
Ger Mansfied's lofty height
Where Titans in their might
Have reared massive shield
There beauty stands revealed,
And he who once its spell
Has felt he knows full well
That nper ignored can be
That little State, SO free
SO rugged and so strong
In all that should belong
10 those who firm would stand
For God and Home and Native Land,
