4. DO YOU WISH TO HEAR THE STORY?

With one accord you ask to hear

All the story of the Light House

And those who dwelt with hardy cheer

By the peaceful Tunxis River.

Do you wish that I should tell you?

Tell you how this people came here?

All the story of the Light House?

Of the cabins and the village?

Of this people and their labors?

Of the graveyard on the hill side?

Of the forest-sheltered graveyard?

Of this tribe who were the founders?

Of this tribe who were the children?

All the legend of the Light House

By the peaceful Tunxis River

In the town of fair Barkhamsted?

If you wish your questions answered,

Listen to this ancient legend

From the storied hills of Litchfield,

From the confines of Barkhamsted,

And the valley of the Tunxis.
