Tilsonburg.

Topics: classic

After him who did the mills own,             This place was called in honor Tilson;             Bright gleaming like to a beaming star,             Is clear waters of the Otter.             And it doth form here a vast pond,             Which extends for miles beyond,             A fortune on town it will shower,             This prodigious water power.             No other spots to youth appear,             Like lovely little lakes round here,             And few small towns have fine roadway             Lined with brick blocks like your broadway.
