THE GOVERNOR!

~

IGH, from the walls of Maine's estate our I!,'overnors look downHats off! The lonl!,' line sprinl!,'S to life: their footsteps press~ on;
From Kin,!?,', that doul!,'hty pioneer, to Cobb they pass in viewA worthy line, Maine's admirals,-God dve them fitting crew!
The old hall rinl!,'s to life once more with voi(les lonl!,' since still;
They sit in old accustomed scats, where once they ruled at will.
Call out the names! They answer "Bere!"-the names beloved of MaineThe Morrills. Hamlin, Washburne, Kent, the I!,'allant Chamberlain,
,\-Vells, Dinl!,'ley, Fairfield, Perham-"Here!" They answer thick and fast
Until, like Abou's name that led, comes Governor Cobb--the last.
God save our sacred herital!,'e! Tho darkness overwhelm;
Fear not; 0 Motherland of Maine: A Mall is at the helm.
