Sweet resting place that long hath been	A
A boon Elysian 'mid the din	A
Of city life 'mid city smoke	B
Where weary ones who toil and spin	A
Have turned aside as to an inn	A
Whose swinging sign a welcome spoke	B
Where misanthropes find medicine	C
In peals of laughter that begin	A
With ancient resurrected joke	B
Or ready wit of harlequin	C
Where children free from discipline	C
Take on Diversion's easy yoke	B
	-
Fair oasis to view aright	D
Its charming paths its sloping height	D
Its beautiful and broad expanse	E
Must one approach in witching night	D
When like abodes of airy sprite	D
Revealed unto the wondering glance	E
O'erflooded with electric light	D
Than Luna's beams more dazzling bright	D
Illumined nooks the scene enhance	E
While zephyrs mischievous unite	D
The timid stroller to affright	D
By swaying boughs in shadow dance	E
	-
The Capitol that crowns the hill	F
Where Boreas sweeps with icy chill	F
A masterpiece of studied art	D
Conceived by genius versatile	G
And fashioned with unerring skill	F
O'erlooks the busy crowded mart	D
And like a kingly domicile	F
Its burnished dome and sculpture thrill	F
With admiration every heart	D
And strangers pause beyond the rill	F
To view its grandeur lingering still	F
And with reluctant steps depart	D
	-
O Bushnell Park memorial soil	F
That marks success though near to foil	F
Of one who with prophetic ken	H
With honest zeal and ceaseless toil	F
Opposed the vandal wish to spoil	F
This lovely bit of vale and glen	H
Who 'mid discussion and turmoil	F
Of adverse minds did not recoil	F
From vigorous stroke of tongue and pen	H
And then till passion ceased to boil	F
On troubled waters poured out oil	F
And to his plans won other men	H
	-
So when fatigued and overwrought	D
In summer time when skies are hot	D
We seek its verdant velvet sward	D
Oh may we hold in reverent thought	D
The debt we owe forgetting not	D
The spirit passed to its reward	D
Of one whose giant soul was fraught	D
With true benignity who sought	D
To touch humanity's quick chord	D
With fire from Heaven's altar brought	D
That love and zeal and being caught	D
As inspiration from the Lord	D
