Millie Ham ' wen Wm High above us, stately, tall, With a pow'r to overwhelm And a dignity serene Sweeps the old Van Buren Elm. In its boughs the oriole Swings its nest and carols free And the golden sun dips down To illumine the old tree. Softly as a distant chime Sweet and clear it murmurs low And its silvery accents swell With the tales of long ago! O, in mellow tones it sings Of vast forests far and near Of the Indian warriors bold And the Heavens blue and clear! And it chants of '42 When it gained the name so fair Of the Old Van Buren Elm, From the man o'erthrown there. Of the village old it tells And the town we know today Of the happy lover's life And the child ren's carols gay. Of the jolly girls and boys With their mirth and happy song Trudging on their Way to school In an idle care free throng. So it ever whispers low Of lair life that it has known And reveals its inmost thoughts To grave wanclerlr there alone. Dear old land mark, graceful elm! Harborer of memories! We respect its strength and might And we deem it king of trees!
