IT CAME OVERSEAS FROM ENGLAND HAVING CROSSED THE IRISH SEA

OUR ANCESTRAL ROOTS OF COMMONALTY

WE ARE AS PROUD AS PROUD CAN BE

OF OUR BRANCH OF THE FAMILY TREE

INHERITED BY MY FATHER WHO IN TURN GAVE IT TO ME

OUR COMMON BOND THE HILLIER NAME

WE STRIVE HARD NOT TO BRING IT SHAME

MY SISTER PATSY HAD THE NAME,TEMPORARILY

SHE BARELY GOT TO USE IT,SHE DIED IN INFANCY

THEN MY SECOND SISTER GOT IT,NAMELY DAPHNE AUDREY

A SHORT TIME LATER MY THIRD SISTER MADE THE SCENE

SHE CONTRACTED DIPHTHERIA ,SO HER NURSE DID INTERVENE

THINKING THE CHILD WOULD DIE WITHOUT GOD'S GRACE

PROMPTLY CHRISTENED HER,,DOREEN

THEN CAME JANET ELIZABETH.NAMED FOR GRANNY AND ENGLAND'S QUEEN

FINALLY TO MY PARENTS A BABY BOY WAS BORN

HE IS MY ONLY BROTHER , HIS NAME IS DONALD LORNE

TOGETHER WE DISPLAY OUR FAMILY NAME WITH PRIDE

FOR ONLY FIVE THOUSAND FAMILIES BEAR THE HILLIER NAME WORLDWIDE
