It used to be in days gone by, "The Colonel's Hill, " a rank more high, And worthy of the ancient trees, Whose foliage rustled in the breeze, Where pigeons, in their annual flight, Were wont by thousands to alight, O! many a fusilade I've seen, Of flint locks in its bowers green;It got the name recorded here, From Colonel By, who first lived there;'Twas then a grove of thickest shade, What civilization's hand hath made, The Indian, with its withering skill, It has done for the "Colonel's Hill. ..."Who comes, so centaur like in grace, Good spirits pictured in his face?'Tis Isaac Smith, let truth not vary, A gentleman from Tipperary, Beloved by all, 'twere hard to mate him, He had no enemies to hate him, His friends were neither scarce nor fewThey numbered every soul he knew. Who e'er remembers Isaac Smith, Mounted top boots and breeches with, Upon his stately old black mareWill recollect a horseman rare. Christopher Carlton, where art thou?Come here, old friend, I want thee nowTo ramble back with me againTo where of old McPherson and Crane, And Francis Clemow, too, I think, Did business at the Basin's brink.
