We honor Thee, old Litchfield,
Your sons are brave and true;
Your minds are fair and winsome
Your hills and skies are blue.
We love thy ancient story,
The Indian tales and lore:
Thy bright and sparkling water,
Thy boats upon the shore.
We love thy spreading spaces,
Thy fields with verdure clad;
And all the pleasant places
That rest and make us glad.
Thine is q wondrous storyl
Proclaim It far and wide
And let your children's children
Re-echo 1t with pride.
How through the long years
passing
Thy children's names have stood
For liberty and manhood,
For love and womanhood.
And some, the mighty planets
That blaze out into the night,
Have sent their rays far-reaching
Along the lines Of light.
Then honor to old Litchfield;
Her sons are brave and true
And give their lives in battle
For right and home and you.
So keep the home fires burning,
As years go passing by.
Live to the best traditions
OF things that never die.
