Caledonia Springs, New York + 

The water spouts up from the ground + 

And there doth form a pond around, + 

’Tis fed from no apparent rills, + 

And it near by drives several mills. + 

And here the little ponds are seen + 

Where fish are propagate by Green, + 

Fish hatcheries here had their birth, + 

And now they’re spread o’er all the earth. + 

Here in each pond thousands of trout + 

Rush around their circular route, + 

Of various breeds, age and size, + 

Speckled o’er with various dyes. + 

Geologists do gaze with pride + 

On specimens all petrified, + 

Here church is built of those rare stone, + 

Fish, reptiles, birds, in days bygone. + 

Strange thoughts in mind it doth awake, + 

As it is far from sea and lake, + 

Even the hill tops do abound + 

With proofs here flowed the sea profound. + 

With reverence we gaze around + 

On an ancient burial ground, + 

Those who once did tread the heather + 

Now rest quietly here together. + 
