BELLEFONTE
By JANET E. YOUNG
Bellefonte was a quiet town
When I was last up there;
A quiet town wih great renown,
And a simplicity quite rare
Renown for histories long told
For her quaintness and hes
charm,
For combining the new with old,
For uniting city with the farm
Nestled between seven moun ain
She Is sheltered from the world
Yet, her courage she proclaims
By keeping all Lilies flags un-
furied
The stalwart mountains keep out
sin,
Their watchful eves don't
a thing;
gentle valleys let good drif
in,
And eer with

And over

Everyone with reverence divine
And in the shadows down below,
Folks are kindly and good
friends;
So inspired, people come and go,
Joyfully going where duty send
And the greenness of
