MEIGS COUNTY, OHIO, TUESDAY, JUNE 26, I860VOLUME IIIFor the Pomeroy Weekly Telegraph POMEROY.Respectfully Dedicated to - .BT VIRQIMA3.Pomeroy, land of rock and river,Lofty hills and winding vales,On whose breast the moonbeams quiver,In whose depths the sunlight fades,In thy confines there is hidden One bright gem of untold worth,And none fairer meets our vision;None more pure are on the earth.Pomeroy, land of greenest verdure,Where the beech and wild ash grow,And the lofty cliffs o'erhanging,Cast their shadows far below;On thy breast a flower is blooming,Tore whose beauty others fall,That year on year its power returning,Is seen, admired, and loved by alLPomeroy, land of troubled wafers,When of ersf the flood mged high,O'er ihy shores in madness rolling, Sweeping every lutrrier by;At her feet they bowed submission,In full content to there abide,And the power that guides the torrent, Raised his wand and stayed the tide.Pomeroy, land of dear remembrance.Be it thy great and highest boast,Of her whose virtues I am singing,“WAo know her best—love her the most, And all the words that may be written,By hearts that melt or those that freeze, In present years, or ages olden,Can write or say no more than these.Pomeroy, every moment bears me Further from thy rugged shore,And perhaps my failing vision May rest on thee, no, nevermore;Yet, as 1 pay this willing tribute,Which may one pang of grief destroy,I make this frank and free confession:“I leave my heart with thee, Pomeroy.June 13, 1800.
