Pleasant Valley! Happy Name!

Pleasant Valley! Happy Name! Monarchs envy thee thy fame. Fortressed in by peaks sublime. Happy people, genial clime. River flowing swift and grand, Gem of hoary mountain land, Fruitful fields and mineral hills Wet by thousand sparkling rills. Pleasant Valley! Happy name! Flocks that feed on hill and plain, Compassed in secure, serene— A World itself, this valley green.


- James Freeman, Jr. (circa. 1890)
