Quatrain of Vermont

Vermont (1791)

O! Thy crescent melting of Lake Champlain,
the gold in the hearts of those who
live and work in this great
region.

Bless be the salmon or the smelt, or the
favor of shedding migratory sins,
knowing love in Vermont is truly
legion.

The formation of glacial tailings, the
scarring of heaven, left this land the
wonder in the eye of the devoted
beholder,

The reason breathing is ordained within
these borders is because God knew He
could place such beauty on thy
shoulder,
