POETICAL
LABOR.

Toll swings the axe, and forests bow;
The seeds break out in radiant bloom:
Rich harvests smile behind the pillow,
And cities cluster round the loom;
Where tottcring domcs and tapcring spires.
Adorn the vale and crown the hill.
Stout Labor lights its beacon fires -,
And plumcs with smoke the forge and mill
The monarch oak. the woodlands pride,
Whose trunk is scanned with lightning scars
Toll launches on the restless tide.
And there unrollS the flag Of stars;
The engine with its lungs Of flame,
And ribs of brass and joints of steel.
From Labor's plastic fingers came,
With Sobbing valve and whiring wheel
IT'S Labor works the magic press.
And turns the crank in hives OF toll.
And beckons angels down to bless
Industrious hands on sea and SOIL
Here sunbrowned Toll with shining spade.
Links lake to lake with silver ties,
Strung thick with palaces of trade,
And temples towering to the skies.
