About Chester, Nova Scotia

CHESTER

Have you ever heard of Chester
Where there's sea and fog and sun,
Where the little winds of summer
On the dancing waters run?
Where small terns dive and hover
And the fields are full of clover
And the summer's just begun?

Have you ever been at Chester?
There you'll find your heart's delight
In the shining of the sea-strand,
In the dip of two sails white.
As you sail each day at leisure,
To some island of your pleasure,
All Earth's troubles will take flight!
