A TALE OF IPSWICH. BY EMILY PEARSON BAILEY. Old Ipswich hills! oft sung and fair, And comes to me from grandsire down Was seen some Brom Bones mirthful face. Men, at that time, believed in ghosts, There, where the hill comes sloping down, Its low, broad step wore welcome air Broad, fertile meadows stretched around, Sweet lilacs blossomed by the door, The birds built nests, the bees hummed there Near by, one eve in rapture lost A youth stood gazing at the host That marches, nightly, through the skies O, terror smote those brave men then Clatter of hoofs awoke the town, Dogs barked, lights gleamed, men grasped their guns And cowered in fear the timid ones, Thus riders rode with might and main Gone are riders, the youth is gone, 39.
