SONG OF HUBBARDTON RAID
13
And many more of these easy names
Could they learn and remember
In this Green Mountain Athens,
In this land of slates and quarries.
Quarries of green and purple slates,
Slates that never fade nor tarnish.
In this ancient seat of learning,
In this house of dead flesh and bones,
Were set up long rows of tables,
Tables covered with human bodies,
Tables covered with stains of human blood,
Tables unwashed for many years,
In this land of slates and quarries.
Around these tables they dissected,
Dissected with a relish and love,
To learn the structure of the body,
To learn the different diseases,
