Then hail, dear Chautauqua! Tho' great be thy fame,
And changing thy scenes, thou art ever the same.
Then hail, fair Chautauqua; in letters of flame
Adown future ages be written thy name.
Oh sweet as the music of waves on thy shore
Is the song that the heart sings for thee evermore.



Our Little Ones
Oh, be gentle with the children,
  Keep them happy all the day;
Many trials and temptations,
They must meet on life's rough way.

May we teach and guide them wisely,
  Guard their feet from every snare;
Knowing that these souls immortal,
  God has trusted to our care.
