ORIGINAL VERSE.
NEW PLYMOUTH: AN APPRECIATION. "*~~~ a A wealth of gardens beauteous as a dream, Of flowering foliage reaching to the sea; Weird rocks that startling to the eye do seem To dumbly speak of somo ancient mystery. Above, your mystic mountain peak sublime Hangs o'er the town at noon, at eve, at morn, And speaks in silence of the far-off time It leapt into the light erg man was bom: From Devon you have made a Devon home Across the roaring deeps here far away, And settled once have scarce the .heart to roam From the sumptuous, splendors of your gleaming bay; And all your hearts, like Devon men of old, To serve your country are alert and bold. —PEREGRINUS.
