Palace and Puritan.
DY RALPH WALDO EMERSON

by RALPH WALDO EMERSON.
Old Europe groans with palaces,
Has lords enough. and more;
We plant and build by foaming seas
city Of the poor;
For day by day could Boston Bay
Their honest labor overpay.
The noble craftsman we promote,
Disown the knave and fool;
Each honest man shall have his vote,
Each child shall have his school.
For what avail the pillow ar sail,
Or land, or life, if freedom fail?
From Boston, IN February Atlantic.
