Never was there lovelier town	A
Than our Falmouth by the sea	B
Tender curves of sky look down	A
On her grace of knoll and lea	B
Sweet her nestled Mayflower blows	C
Ere from prouder haunts the spring	D
Yet has brushed the lingering snows	C
With a violet colored wing	D
Bright the autumn gleams pervade	E
Cranberry marsh and bushy wold	F
Till the children's mirth has made	E
Millionaires in leaves of gold	F
And upon her pleasant ways	G
Set with many a gardened home	H
Flash through fret of drooping sprar	I
Visions far of ocean foam	H
Happy bell of Paul Revere	I
Sounding o'er such blest demesne	A
While a hundred times a year	I
Weaves the round from green to green	A

Never were there friendlier folk	J
Than in Falmouth by the sea	B
Neighbor households that invoke	J
Pride of sailor pedigree	B
Here is princely interchange	K
Of the gifts of shore and field	L
Starred with treasures rare and strange	K
That the liberal sea chests yield	L
Culture here burns breezy torch	M
Where gray captains bronzed of neck	N
Tread their little length of porch	M
With a memory of the deck	N
Ah and here the tenderest hearts	O
Here where sorrows sorest wring	D
And the widows shift their parts	O
Comforted and comforting	D
Holy bell of Paul Revere	I
Calling such to prayer and praise	G
While a hundred times the year	I
Herds her flock of faithful days	G

Greetings to thee ancient bell	P
Of our Falmouth by the sea	B
Answered by the ocean swell	P
Ring thy centuried Jubilee	B
Like the white sails of the Sound	Q
Hast thou seen the years drift by	R
From the dreamful dim profound	Q
To a goal beyond the eye	R
Long thy maker lieth mute	S
Hero of a faded strife	T
Thou hast tolled from seed to fruit	S
Generations three of life	T
Still thy mellow voice and clear	I
Floats o'er land and listening deep	U
And we deem our fathers hear	I
From their shadowy hill of sleep	U
Ring thy peals for centuries yet	V
Living voice of Paul Revere	I
Let the future not forget	V
That the past accounted dear	I
