HIGH, from the walls of Maine's estate our governors look down-- Hats off! The long line springs to life: their footsteps pressing on; From King, that doughty pioneer, to Cobb they pass in view-- A worthy line, Maine's admirals,--God give them fitting crew! The old hall rings to life once more with voices long since still; They sit in old accustomed seats, where once they ruled at will. Call out the names! They answer "Here!"--the names beloved of Maine- The Morrills. Hamlin, Washburne, Kent, the gallant Chamberlain, Wells, Dingley, Fairfield, Perham--"Here!" They answer thick and fast Until, like Abou's name that led, comes Governor Cobb--the last. God save our sacred heritage! Tho darkness overwhelm; Fear not; 0 Motherland of Maine: A Man is at the helm.
