Where Vermont Comes In 

 At a Tufts College alumni dinner given at 

 the University Club in New York city at 

 which several States were represented, 

 Charles H. Darling was Invited to respond 

 to the toast "Where Vermont Comes In," 

 and replied as follows: 



Up where the north winds blow jnst a little 



keener, d 



Up where the! grasses grow Just a little 

 greener. 



Up where the mountain peaks rise a little 

 higher. 



Up where the human kind draws a little 

 nigher, 



That's where Vermont ooraes In. 



Up where the snows of winter last a little 

 longer, 



Up where the heart beats Just a little 

 stronger. 



Up where the handdap Is Just a little 

 warmer, 



That's whore Vermont oomes In. 



Up where the lonesome pine Its nightly re- 

 quiem sighs. 



Up where the unpolluted waters take their 

 rise. 



Up where the sons of toll have fought for 



freedom's sod. 

 Up where all nature's mood is a little 



nearer God, 

 That's where Vermont comes In. 



Where our manhood fights for honor 

 And where woman shrinks at sin. 

 Where health is man's best riches. 

 That's where Vermont oomes In.
