THAT'S MY HOMETOWN Look there now- See that town? There where the houses cluster, Houses of white, of grey, of brown. Where the steeples rise ever upward, But the ancient trees reach higher. Look closely now That's my hometown! Look there now- See that park? There right in the center of town. The one with the fountain and old, old trees, The bandstand small and round. Where the school band played on summer eves, Where lovers strolled in years gone by. It's placed before the churches, Before the Houses of God. And it blossoms and grows, Matures and dies, Year upon year upon year. This town has brought forth many famous sons, Senators and congressmen, writers and scientists. And someday they must all return If only to weep in remembering youth. But there, there walk the unknown, The hopes of the future rest in them. The old folks, the young ones-different Yet all have in common the bond of this town. The old folks treasure the memory Of an old wooden school, their Alma Mater. Now time has wrought a fine new building With different hearts, but the same old strain- She has had a glorious history, But her glories have scarce begun! Ah yes, this spirit shall be here longer still Than any of us young today. Look there now- See those streets? How peaceful and secure! West Main Street was once a cowpath. Terrace Hill Road is really quite new. Look at the names on those street signs, Juliand, Kirby, Bixby, Evans, Named for their fathers all. See that hitching post standing yet There beside the carriage steps. What dainty feet once trod them What noble sirs reined in? Look there now- See that town? There beside the winding river, Nestled amongst the rolling hills There beneath the bluest sky, There where the sun shines brightest. Look closely now That's my hometown! Anneliese Schneider 7 2
