And thy winding lane shall bear in train
Advancement’s fruitful store.
O Skinker Road, thou road of roads,
Thou way of wondrous ways,
All tongues on earth shall speak thy name,
All races there meet face to face.
Once wast thou highway of the pioneers
In the rugged days of toil and war,
But now the lane of a world-wide fame,
The “Midway” of the Fair.
