Text Appearing Before Image:
ll. The Shield that braved a Monarchs wrath, The bugle of the clarion call,The sword that smote a tyrants crown, Were swiftly forged at Gunston Hall. And when the mighty war was oer,And freedom gained for one and all. Back to their fathers home returnedThe valiant sons of Gunston Hall.

The matron spun the golden fleece,The loom responded to the call, The distaff and the spindle whirredTheir ceaseless rounds in Gunston Hall.

As silently the ages fall;The centuries have left their stains Upon the stones of Gunston Hall. When worldly pleasures fail to please.When wealth and earthly honors pall, When duty points to nobler aims,Go, stranger, visit Gunston Hall.
