FOR more than a hundred years In history, legend, and rhyme. Has the old story been told anew Of the Century's deed sublime. On this Memorial Day, When the grateful hearts of all, Recounting the struggle for Liberty, The Nation's birth recall. We tell the story once more Of that brave and early fight, When young America stood to her guns, With trust in the God of right. We sing the old, old story To the children of our time, Of the Minute Man at Concord Bridge - Again in simple rhyme. I. The sc...attered hamlet, listening To the river's melody Slow-pulsing, even, sweet, Like dream of heaven, fair paradise. With forests grand, and fertile fields, Is blessed, safe retreat. To weary pilgrims, tossed upon A sea of conflict, stormy, rough. Who waves of trouble breast, Musket-a-quid seems fair indeed. They bare the brow, and fervently Thank God that here they rest. J They settle here, and honestly They purchase land by river, Requiting Indian toil. And peacefully, 'neath Jethro's Oak, So runs the legend, springs the name Which blesses all the soil.
