CONNE.CTICUT'S CHARTER OAK In a corner of New England VV here the laurel blooms in glory Is the state we love most dearly, Famed in deed and famed in story. This line state did own a charter Granted by an linglish sovereign: Now that country 'cross the ocean Wlished that land-grant to regain. lidmund Andros from old England Sailed across the choppy seasg Ile had come to get the charter Hy force of arms or urgent pleas. But the people of this province ,Q 3. Loved their freedom far too wellg f'QLI'2-3:1f-:..A Iiven when Sir Andros threatened, A.,- .V 'A'V .- ' - Their Herce spirit he could not quell. fgffggl 5 -'.1 1 fit 5, 1:lsa.1,-tL-5 N: v,,, So they came to this decision, 1.. I wb EQ, A For the benefit of all, ' - plii To have a most important conference 45 - V' In the Hartford City Hall. 'El l a' :,:. 55 .:., Near that hall there stood a tree Wlhich groaned and shook in the winter breeze, A But it was a, sturdy oak Hollow though its trunk had grown. Wfhile the meeting was in progress Sir Edmund asked the charter backg There the candles flickered-sputtered- And the room was dark and black. NVhen the hall once more was brightened The famous charter was not there. The men all cried, lt has been stolen! They couldn't tind it anywhere. But what happened I shall tell you: A young man named VVadsworth came, And he took that precious charter, Hid it in that tree of fame. Thus the freedom of our people Saved was by that wily stroke, And the paper safe was hidden In Connecticut's Charter Oak. B. Harvey '3511 65 lvifl ?
