- (continued from previous page)But Peter Busher still remains.
A man of fame, a man of brain,
not better gardener can be found,
Not in this country all around.
Out little graces to, we find,
In him a man of honest mind.
His little shop so spic and span,
Holds refuge for the roughest clan.
And Hughes a builder of renown,
The greatest man in old Moortown.
For churches schools and steeples high,
His work is a;ways near the sky.
Now turn to God and ask a prayer,
To keep those good men working there,
And don't let nay tears or frown,
Make you unhappy in Moortown.
