From the birthplace of this river in the mountains of the west To the tide that comes to meet it, Of all others it is best, And God has used his talent in making such a stream Where life is still worth living, and it is possible to dream, Of Peace, and understanding, With love among mankind Release from hell and torment, Humanity may find Pray when we cross the Jordan, and meet the Referee We will hear the grand decision, You are on the Miramichi. ~ William T. Griffin (1881-1974)
