WILMINGTON'S GOOD FAIRY

There's a Santy in good Wilmington,

And a good fairy too,

Who brings all comforts to the poor

And proves a friend so true

To all the poor and needy,

Both the big and small.

He's always willing, ready

To help them one and all—

With kind words and with money,

With deeds of love and smiles

He helps men on Life's journey

To cross old Trouble's stiles.

And to this real live Fairy

The noble knight JAMES SPRUNT

Living in old Wilmington

On the street called Front

I dedicate this little song

And wish him every joy

In the melting pot of life

Without dread Woe's alloy.
