TU BAL CAIN.
M CHARLES MAcKA


Old Tuoal Cain was man OF might,
In the days when earth was young;
BY the fierce led light OF his furnace fire,
The strokes OF his hammer rung,
And he lifted his brawny hind
On the iron glowing clear,
Till the sparks rushed out in scarlet showers,
As he fashioned the sword and the spear:
And he sang, sHurra for my hsnd'work!
llnrra for the spear and the sword!
Iiurra tor the hand that welds them well,
For he shall be king and iord.'
To Tubal Cain came many an one,
A. he wrought BY his roaring fire,
And each one prayed .or strong steel blade,
A. the crown oil his desire;
And he made them weapons sharp and strong,
Till they shouted loud Tor glee,
And gave him gifts of pearl and gold,
And spoils OF the forest tree;
And they sang, sHurra for Tubai Cain!
Who hos given us strength anew
Hurra for the smith, and hurra for tho fire,
And hurra for the metal true:
But sudden change came DER HE heart,
Ere the setting oil the sun;
And Tubal Cain was filled with pain
For the evil he had done;
Hc saw that men, with rage and hate,
Made war upon their kind
That the land was red with blood they shed,
And their lust FOR carnage blind:
And he said, ALAS. that ever made,
Or iha, SIX i'll Of mine should plan,
The spear and sword Tor men whose Joy
II is to slay their fellow man.
And for many day old Tn,al Cain
Sat brooding DER his wo-
And his hand torhore tn suite the orc,
And his iurnacc smoaldeT,a low;
But he rose al last with cheerful iaco,
And bright courageous eye,
And barred his strong arm for the work,
While The quick flames mounted high,
And he sang, sHurra for my handiwo,k.'
And the red sparks lit the al;
Not alone tor the blade was the hrigh steel made
And he fashioned the IRIS, plowshare.
And men, taught wisdom from the past, !.
In friendship joined heir hands, wall
Hung the sword in the hall aud the spear ON thu
And plowed the willing lands;
And sang, sHurra for Tabal Cain.
Our siaunch, good friend l. he;
And for the plowsharc and the pillow,
TO him our prize shall be.
But while oppression Tits It's hand,
Or q tyran, would be lord,
Though we may thank him tor the plow,
We'll not forget the sword
