High School Donated To RRC, INC.
- By
Imre and Janet Szilagyi
- Rowlesburg
- A Little
Town in the Majestic Hills of West Virginia
-
- Where Time
and Space Have Been Ignored.
- Where Life
is Simple and People are Gentle.
- Where the
Mountaineer Spirit Lives Free in the Hearts of These Rugged Folk.
- Church bells
Ring out with Familiar Hymns Calling the People
- for Lunch
and Again for Suppertime.
- Early Morning
Fog Hangs on the Hillsides, Obscuring their Summits Until the
- Sun Breaks Through to Reveal
the Glory of God's Creation.
- The Occasional
Train Rumbles Through Town and Fills the Valley with
- Echoes from
the Hills, Signaling
that "All is Well".
- Echoes that
are Reminiscent of Times Gone by.
In Other Days, Locomotives with Coal Laden Cars Passed by, Blowing
Coal Dust into
Every Nook and Cranny of Town, but that was All right Because
People had Jobs and Families Prospered.
- Across the
River, Men Dug Stone out of the Hillsides to Make Cement and
to Provide Food for the Family Tables. That was All right, too,
- Because Families
Prospered.
The Schoolhouse was Filled with Happy Voices; Music and Laughter
Filled the Halls;
- the Band
Marched in the Street; Cheers Went up from the Football Field;
- and the Town
Prospered.
-
- Coming down
Both sides of the River Road I see People Coming to Town;
- Some in Autos,
some on Foot and Others on Bikes along Rails to Trails;
- Coming to
Visit
- Tray Run
Viaduct, Cannon Hill, Greatest Generation Museum, the B&O
Depot,
- RHS Welcome
Center, and Main Street Garden.
- Coming to
Kayak, Canoe, Swim, Fish, or Camp;
- Some just
want to Move back home.
- Rowlesburg
is once More Alive with Happy People
- and the Town
Prospers.
-
- Where the
River flows Northward to the Monongahela
- on Her Perpetual
Journey to the Sea, the Air is Fresh and Clean, and
- the Song
of the Hills Calls the Heart to Come Home.
