Excerpt from Jamestown Tributes and Toasts
They found not pearls and gold For which they came in quest Across the trackless deep The Jamestown pioneers of old Instead, the priceless pearl of Freedom, vast, For aye to keep; The virgin gold of boundless Opportunity, Which grows with ev'ry age more grand. A golden harvest any man may reap Who will. Yes, these the jewels rich The Jamestown settlers found Within the wilderness safe-keep.
