TO THE COOLIDGE DAM

Says the Roosevelt dam to her
sister,
Now built on the Carlos site,
What a marvellous structure you
are my dear,
So massive and SNUG and tight,
How your waters will freshen the
thirsty soil,
And blossom it like the rose,
May peace and plenty abide with
thee,
And thy water wherever it goes"
"And the children of man. may
they multiply,
And thive by thy bounteous flow,
May the Casa Grande and that an
cient land,
Bloom as in long ago."
And beautiful homes may you have
galore,
With people all happy and free,
May the fruits Of the vine in thy
soil so fine,
Bring them wealth and prosperl-
ty."
Yes, the Roosevelt dam said this to
me,
In sisterly love and pride,
And she, too, is thing of beauty,
May she ever in beauty abide.
With our crystal waters reflecting
the sky,
And our wayelets kissing the
shore,
May we ever be full of the limpid
fluid,
And blessings forever more.
With our power lines going here
and there,
Freighted with light and cheer,
Serving the homes of the "Rio

And the Gila valleys dear.
