Cross Girl

Jane, my dear,
How can you be
Cross to little
Emily!

When she’s such
A darling child;
Always gentle,
Meek and mild.

Trenton Falls

See Frontispiece and other views of Trenton Falls.

Cascades roaring
In their might,—
Waters pouring
From the height,—

Wildly bounding
On their way,—
Loud resounding,
Seem to say,—

See us toiling,
As we glide;—
Hear us boiling,
Far and wide.

We are living,
Not in vain,—
We are giving
Back again

Plenteous rain-drops
To the sun,
As it cheers us
While we run.

Rising, leaping,
Over hills,—
We are keeping
Yonder mills

Swiftly going
Round and round;
Onward flowing,
We are found.

Useful ever,
As we go;
Silent never.
Do you know

We are teaching
You to-day;
Hear our preaching.
Children, stay!

Learn a lesson
Of the river;
Yield your hearts
To God, their giver.

Ever raising
Grateful praise,
Loving, serving,
All your days.
