from George
Ward
1. There is not in this wide world a valley so sweet
As that vale in
whose bosom the bright waters meet.
Oh, the last rays of feeling and life must depart,
E'er the bloom of that valley shall fade from my heart. (2x)
2. Let the day be
remembered forever with pride
That beheld the proud Hudson and Erie allied.
Oh, the
last sands of time from his glass shall descend
E'er a union so fruitful of glory shall end.
(2x)
3. Yet it is not that wealth now enriches the scene
Where the treasures of
heart and of nature convene.
It is not that this union our coffers will fill;
Oh,
no, it is something more exquisite still. (2x)
4. 'Tis that genius has triumphed and science
prevailed,
Where prejudice flouted and envy assailed;
It is that the vassals of
Europe may see
The progress of mind in the land of the free. (2x)
5. All hail to
a project so vast and sublime;
A bond that can never be severed by time
Now unites
us still closer, all jealousies cease,
And our hearts, like our waters, are mingled in
peace. (2x)
1985 learned for the Left-Handed Complement's Smithsonian
gig.
