You of the town are proud of

whose thrift, and energy, and per

They are builders one and all.
But we fear that we of the town

We OhrselTeS know of the high

And this is beoause we think
much and say too little-
It should not be so.
Let us of the town cultivated

for we are but one big family and
should dwell together in unity
and brotherly love.
Let us aot as we feel, and give
