We are gathered together
To remember the day,
they gave us a kiss
Then stole Anne away.
Our hearts have been broken,
Tears have been scattered,
Throughout every continent,
Every corner Anne mattered.
What they didn't expect,
What they couldn't believe,
1.4 MILLION signatures
Gathering speed.
For you see the story ain't over,
When the girl gets the boy,
Nor was it finished when Josie's
Name got destroyed.
And what about Ruby,
still to fulfill her dreams?
And Tilly with two suitors,
We've yet to see her at Queen's.
Jane, dearest Jane,
the most confused of the lot,
does she not deserve the chance
to shoot her shot?
Then, there's Moody
who we have left holding a banjo,
And Charlie, whose Mother
Is still holding his hand—No!
Dearest Diana,
still needs to say sorry,
And Jerry has so much to learn
besides horses.
And what about Minnie May,
Our true Krack Queen,
And Billy Andrews,
who may yet be redeemed.
We have to return
to check Matthew's alright,
And to ensure Marilla
has stocked enough currant wine!
And as for Miss Stacy,
and dear Mrs. Lynde,
why, we left that sisterhood
right on the brink.
We owe it to Mary
to check up on Bash,
To hear Delly call Elijah,
and see him react!
We have to return
to see Cole's first exhibit
And to welcome Aunt Jo
to Green Gables for dinner.
What happened to Winnie,
and Prissy too?
Did Ka'kwet escape
the shackles masquerading as truth?
It's been a year
and we have all felt it,
Fate dealt us a blow
which we hath lamented.
We've had highs like the billboards,
letters, and parties,
And lows we won't mention,
so no one's downhearted!
We've refused to give up,
Call us Clowns, call us Pirates,
We've refused to give in
to this media silence.
We've come too far,
made new friends, lost a few,
we've worked too darn hard
Not to be renewed.
And so, what began
with a girl Gilbert called “Carrots”,
Has become a close family,
united in a fandom.
