There too, are Job and David Moore,
Bill Northgraves mentioned not before,
Who in the little school-house red
On early education fed.

Strongly defined in memory's light,
And Wright both Ruggles and Tiberias,
And Wyman who was seldom serious,

Of many more remembered well,
But end I here my present strain
Till memory wakes it up again.

Swelling, majestic in its pride,
A glorious stream from side to side!
A "Grand River" was Ottawa then,
