Topics: classic

The Credit Valley Railway Company having placed a car at the service of the council we were kindly invited to accompany them to Toronto.             Whene'er we take a tour abroad             We love to travel o'er new road,             Where scenery to us is new             And landscape pleasing to the view,             When invited for to rally             And take a trip on Credit Valley,             We resolved for to afford             A day with Council and School Board,             For to view the rural charms             Of hills and dales and fertile farms,             With joy we saw the sunbeams gleam             On Grand River beauteous stream,             And those perpendicular walls             Of rock, like old baronial halls,             We saw the great lake ebb and flow,             And queen city of Ontario,             While some enjoyed the genial smile             Of Hanlon on his lake girt isle,             Returning home each one exclaims             "Happiest spot is banks of Thames."
