Excerpt from The Library of Congress: Two Copies Receive, Aug 24 1903
N Hadley steeple proud I Sit, Steadfast and true, I never flit, Summer and winter, night and day, The merry winds around me play, And far below my gilded feet The generations come, and go, In one unceasing ebb and flow, Year after year in Hadley street. I nothing care, I only know, God sits above, He wills itso; While roundabout and roundabout and roundabout I go, The way 0' the wind, the changing wind, the way 0' the wind to Show.
