Oh Hastings town remember Mr Birch
Who gave to you for so, so many years
Whose soul has flown up from its mortal perch
And left us all back in this vale of tears.
D'you see how one man showed us how to care,
And how to work towards a fairer goal?
He led with love and asked us but to share,
And now the universe reclaims his soul.
Yet past Election Days and here and now
Beyond the shallow confines of this place
The good we do on earth remains somehow
And echoes for eternity in space.
So even though this great man's passed away,
He lives in us forever and a day.
