Excerpt from Chautauqua County Schools and Education, 1802-1902Centennial PoemBy Forrest Crissey.A hundred years - how brief a spanIn which to work the magic changeFrom wilderness and savage manTo fruitful field and purpling grange!Where now the lakeward-looking hillsAre wreathed in vines of goodly fame,The Red Man fished the lakes and rills,And ranged the forest for his game.He pitched his summer lodge where nowThe schoolhouse stands, with flying flag;And where the vineyards crown the browOf every hill he chased the stag.His bruitish war-cry echoed wildFrom every slope, in every dell,Where now resound the echoes mildOf sacred song and Sabbath bell.In hideous dance and savage gameHe gathered at the wood-fringed shoreWhich links Chautauqua's storied name,With Learning, Art and ripest lore.Where e'er the toiling student lightsHis solitary lamp and givesTo Learning's court his zealous nightsThe fame of old Chautauqua lives!A million clusters load the vinesBeneath blue Erie's misty wing;But better than her rarest wines.Chautauqua's larger gift I sing:Her pioneers - a noble seedFrom which a harvest rich and greatOf sturdy sons hath sprung to feedThe school, the mart, the court, the state!Wipe from our country's roll the nameOf all that dear Chautauqua gave.And you will snatch the wreath of FameFrom Lyon's and from Phillips' grave!What though her terraced vineyards spreadTo every hill that drinks the sunOf all her gifts, the light she's shedOn Learning's page is chiefest one!About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
