ROBERT JOHNSON. OLD NORWICH TOWN The Rose of New England! Thou hast been rightly named, For since among the quaint historic towns that erown The wild New England hills—for native beauty famed— Thou art the fairest found, Thou stately Norwich Town. The Rose of New Hngland! Here many waters meet, From further hills and far-off tangled woodland leas, The rivers onward glide to mingle at thy feet— ‘With gathered force to pour Thelr tribute to the seas. ‘The Rose of New England! Thy winding streets and hilis; Thy towers and tarreis rise like feudal cas old; Thy glant trees whose interlacing branches fills In autumn time the flelds, ‘With clouds of burnished gold The Rose of New England! I luve to think of thee; % Thy cherished memories can soothe when sorrows frown, Bring back the long, long days, and childish fancies free And now a fond farewell To thee, old Norwich Town. .
