Our Heritage

Now let us heal and restore where we trample and plunder, Cleansing and saving our shallowing rivers and rills, Lending new life to the field we have ravaged and beggared, Calling new forest to gladden the desolate hills.

Then though we pass from the land that our fathers bequeathed us, Mountain and river and wood shall our message renew; “This is the land that we loved; oh, be faithful, our children! Fair was it left to us; fairer we leave it to you!”
