Excerpt from The Depredation at Pemaquid in August, 1689 and Events That Led Up to It: Read Before the Maine Historical Society January 18, 1900 Green is the sod where, centuries ago, The pavements echoed With the thronging feet Of busy crowds that hurried to and fro, And met and parted in the city street; Here, where they lived, all holy thoughts revive, Of patient striving and of faith held fast Here, Where they died, their buried records live Silent they speak from out the shadowy past.
