38 VERMONT AGRICULTURAL REPORT. 



Seeing not, in growth's deep-rooted 

 Springing thick around our way, 

 Foes as crafty and sure footed 

 As the foes of yesterday 



But the times have not bereft us 

 Of the valor of those years. 

 That as heritage was left us 

 By those honored pioneers. 



And mayhap, who tells the story 

 As this century recedes, 

 May discern some hidden glory 

 In the record of our deeds.
