~ poem of Hon. Eugene +. Ware
win soon appear in book form,printed
With new type and ON beautiful paper
Senator Ware under the nom de plume
Of rronquill, has produced several
poems ia the past ten years which
must live.-melodies inwrought with
the fire of genius, rhythms with soul
that will touch throbbing hearts long
after his who inspired them is silent
and pulseless. The Washer-wemsn's
Friend. who, as her friend, would
keep her 20 the end, was an inspira-
zion whose subject was equally finely
delinesied for the poet, sculptor or
painter. Once. in answer 10 an ex-
pressed sorrow that such q soul
should find itself without the hope of
the washer-woman, was wrote the
following in reply, which appeared
once IN the EAGLE, but which will yet
appear many times in print:
see the spire,
/ see the throng,
hear the choir,
] hear the song;
listen TO the anthem, while
Il pours its volume down the aisle;
1 listen 10 the splendid rhyme
That, with melody sublime,
Tells of some far-oif, fadeless cline
OF man and his finslity,
OF hope and Immortality.
Oh, theme of themes.
Are men inistsughi
Are hopes like dreams,
To come 10 naugbi'
Is all the beautiful and good
Delusive and misunderstood
And has the soul no forward reach,
And do indeed the facts impeach
The theories the teachers teach!
And is this Immortality
Delusion or reality
What hope reveals
Mind tries to clasp,
But soon il reels
With broken grasp.
No chain vet forged on anvil's brink
Was stronger ;hst its weakest link;
And do not arguments maintain
That many links along the chain
Cannot resist q reason strain
And is not immortality
The child of ideality.
And yet-at times
We get advice
That seems like chimes
From paradise;
The soul doth sometimes seem 10 be
In sunshine which il cannot see;
Al times the spirit seems to roam
Beyond the land, above the foam.
Rack 10 some balf-forgoiten home.
Perhaps-this immortality
Mav be indeed reality.
