The Priceless Things.

Those are vulgar things We pay for. be they
stones for crowns Of kings;
While tn. precious and the peerless are |:
priced symbolic things.
Common debts are scored and Cancelled,
weighed and measured ont Tor gold;
But the debts from men to ages, their account
is never told.
Always see, the noblest nations keep their high
est prize unknown;
Oharonea's marble lion fronned above inlet
tered stone.
Balaklava-M Marathon andwho shall mete the
worth of these?
shsll We huckster with our iifeboats that defy
the leaping seas?
Alb. the Greeks knew Came their vic;ors
honored from the sacred games,
lnder arches red with roses, flushed to hear
their shouted names;
Bee their native cities take them. breach the
wall to make q gate!
What supreme reward is thei"a who bring such
honors to their State?
In the forum stand they proudly, take their
prizes from the priest;
Little wreaths. of pine and parsley on their
naked temples pressed!
We in later days are lower? Ay q manfnl
stroke is made,
And We raise q purse to pay it. making manli-
ness a trade
Sacrifice itself grows venal-surely Midas will
subscribe;
And the shallow souls are satisfied when worth
accepts the bride!
But ON here, amid the markets, there are
things they dare prize:
Dollars hide their sordid faces when they meet
anointed eyes.
Lovers do not seek with jewels; flowers alone
can plead for them;
And ono fragrant memory cherished is ia
dearer than a gem.
Statesmen steer the nation safely; artists pass
the burning test,
And their country pays them proudly with a
ribbon at the breast.
When the soldier saves the battle, wraps the
flag around his heart,
Who shall desccrate his honor with the values
O! the mart?
From his guns Of bronze we hew "a piece, and
carve it as q cross:
For the gain he gave WAS priceless, as unpriced
would be the loss.
When the poet sings the love song, and the
song of life and death,
Making millions cease their weary toll and
wal: with wondering breath;
When he gilds the mill and mine, inspires the
slave t. rise and dare;
Lights with love the hopeless garnet, tells the
tyrant to beware;
When be steals the pang from poverty. with
meanings new and clear,
Reconcilins pain and peace, and bringing
blessed visions near;
His reward? Nor cross nor ribbon, but all
others high above,
They may wear their splendid symbols The has
earned the peoples love!
