Explore "Lines on Tilsonburg" by James McIntyre on Textopian. Read with annotations and highlights.
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.
Elsewhere, the firemen slave like Turks, / But you have got good water works;
And some do many a mile go / For to see your famous silo.
