A Christmas Tree + 

To night the children meet with glee + 

To view the fruits on Christmas Tree, + 

And when its beauties we behold + 

We’re very sorry we are old. + 

The children all they have good cause + 

To feel grateful to old Santa Claus, + 

And to each teacher, and each friend, + 

Who did these handsome presents send. + 

To us it is a pleasant treat, + 

With so many friends here to meet, + 

You’ve well conducted public school + 

Where master doth judicious rule; + 

The union it doth give its strength, + 

Gives section breadth, as well as length. + 

Nissouri here should build a Hall, + 

For exhibitions in the Fall; + 

Its claims they cannot be ignored, + 

For first in township stands Thamesford. + 

This village keeps up with the age, + 

For it hath a good daily stage + 

And in its efforts never fails + 

To carry passengers and mails. + 
