THE DARTMOUTH TOWER

THEY BUILT IT ON THE HILLTOP AND THE TREES GREW UP ABOUT IT, AND AMIDST THE GREEN OF SUMMER OR THE LOVELY COLORS OF AUTUMN IT STANDS LIKE AN EVERLASTING SENTINEL ON THE SACRED GROUND WHERE ONCE THE RED MAN AND THE WHITE FORGOT NATURAL ANTIPATHIES AND JOINED HANDS IN FRIENDSHIP. AND TO HIM WHO HAS ONCE CLIMBED TO ITS SUMMIT AND LOOKED ABOUT, THERE COMES EVER THE VISION OF VALLEY, FOREST, AND HILL, EVER FRESH AND EVER LIVING.
