The Ackley pilgrims . use declare For the little I have said. I never can describe or name All we saw as we drew nighThe towers and churches of past fame, Where forms of great men lie. We saw the Palace of the Queen, Alberts Memorial Tower;Also her jewels too were seen, We almost y^// her power. Saw largest hotel in the world, The Hotel Metropole,Saw armories with flaos unfurled, Armor and printed scroll. Crossed London Bridge and rode alongThe Row and St. James Park, Hearing much of right and reached hotel at dark. 21 And so the five whole clays were spentWhich were allowed us here, Doing as each ones mind was bent;In the evening did appear — Going to Theatre, Opera House,Or staying at home at will; Some thought the da)^ about enoughFor any one to fill.
