Roger Williams Monument
The Founder of Providence
Roger Williams Park
Near Elmwood Ave
Roger Williams was the great apostle of religious liberty
Founder of Providence 1636
The man who lived two centuries ago
Who stood for right, the high, the ideal things
Until this freedom with its healing wings
Spread over all the land and now the whole
From East to West has the Rhode Island soul
Poem by Caroline Hazard
