Dereham now hath wealthy yoemen Whose fathers overcame the foemen; The enemy they boldly slew Was mighty forests they did hew, And where they burned heaps of slain Their sons now reap the golden grain.
All will rejoice they took a trip Onboard the craft Odd: Fellowship; Your candidates now, in their youth, Will soon learn friendship, love and truth. We hope your influence will be good, A blessing to the neighborhood.
