The American literary reciter; readings, delcamations and plays, original compositions and choice selections of the best literature .. . of Nature and the love of humankind?The Blue Laws of Connecticut have shaped their thought, tis true,But human laws can never wholly Heavens wOrk undo. And tears fall fast from many an eye long time unused to weep,For oer the fields lay whitening the bones of cows and sheep—The faithful cows that used to feed upon the broad Grand Pre,And with their tinkling bells come slowly home at close of day. And where the Acadian village stood, itsroofs oergrown with moss, And the simple wooden chapel with itsaltar and its cross, And where the forge of Basil sent itssparks towards the sky, The lonely thistle blossomed and the fire-weed grew high. The broken dykes have been rebuilt a cen-tury and more, The cornfields stretch their furrows fromCanard to Beausejour, Five generations have been reared besidethe fair Grand Pre Since the vessels from Connecticut camesailing up the bay. And now across the meadows, while the farmers reap and sow,The engine shrieks its discords to of Gaspereau;. o EH izi w w m W EH s O
