Beneath our consecrated elm a century ago
he Stood
Famed vaguely for that old fight in the
wood,
Whose red surge sought. but could not over
whelm,
The life foredoomed to WELD our rough
hewn helm
From colleges. where now the gown
To arms had yielded from the town,
Our rude. self-summoned levees fiocked to
The new-come chiefs. and wonder which
was he.
No need to question long: close-lipped and
tall.
Long-trained in murder-broodlng forests
lone
To briole others clamors and his own,
Firmly erect. he lowered above them all,
The incarnate discipline that was to free
With iron curb that armed democracy.
Soldier and statesman. rarest unison;
High-poised example of great duties done
Simply as breathing, worlds honors woru
As life's Indifferent gifts to all men born;
Dumb for himself. unless it were to God,
But for his barefoot soldiers eloquent,
Tramping the snow to coral where they
trod
Held by his awe in holiow-eyed content;
Modest. yet firm as Natures self unbalanced
Save by the men his nobler nature shamed
Not honored then nor now because he wooed
The popular voice. but that he still with
stood
predetermined. higher-souled. there is but
one
Who vas all this and ours and all mems

And drape your form In silk and lace.
When others shall call you Dear" an

And hold your hand and kiss your face.
You will not forget that far above
All others. is a mothers love.
Some day,
'Mong strangers in far distant lands.
In your new home beyond the sea.
When at your lips are baby hands.
And children playing at your kree:
Oh. then as at your side they grow.
How have loved you, you win know.
Some day.
When you must feel loves heavy loss.
You VIII remember other years.
When l. too, bent beneath the cross.
And mixed my memory with thy tears:
In such dark hours be not afraid;
Within their shadow / have prayed.
Some day.
Your daughters voice. or smile. or eyes.
My face will suddenly recall:
Then you will smile in sweet surprise.
And your soul unto mine will call
In that dear unforgotten prayer
Which We at evening rsed 10 share.
Some day.
A flower. q song. a word. may be
A link between us strong and sweet:
All. then. dear child. remember met
And let your heart to mother" beat.
My love Is with you every ywhere-
You cannot go beyond my prayer

WHEN LOVE WENT BY.

WHEN Love went by / scarcely bent
Ny eyes TO see which way he went.
Life had so many joys to show,
What time had to watch him go.
Or bid him in. whom folly sent?
But when the day was well nigh spent.
From out the easement long 1 leant.
All. would had been watching SO
When Love went by!
Gray days with dismal nights are blent.
Lonely and sad and discomfort;
/ would his feet had been more slow.
oh. heart OF mine. how could We know
Or realize what passing meant
When Love went by?

Bend on me then thy tender eyes
As stars look on the sea. -.
For thoughts. like waves that glide ps

Arc stillest when they shine;
My earthly love lies hushed In hght
Beneath the heaven Of thine.
There Il an hour when angels keep
Familiar watch DER men;
When coarser souls are wrapped In sieep'
Sweet spirit, meet me then.
There Is an hour when holy dreams
Through slumber fairest glide.
And In that mystic hour 1t seems
Thou should'st be by my side.
The thoughts of thee too sacred are
For daylisht's common beam:
can but know thee as my star.
My angel. and my dream.
When stars are In the quiet skies.
Then most Pine for thee;
Bend on me then thy tender eyes.

Dutch Lullaby.

wynken. Blynken and Nod one night
Sailed of in a wooden shoe
Sailed on a river Of misty light
Into a sea Of dew.
where are you going and what do you
wish"
The old moon asked the three.
We've come to fish for the herring-fish
That live in this beautiful sea,
Nets Of silver anc gold have We.
Said Wynken
Biynken,
And Nod.
The old moon laughed and sung a song
As they rocked in the wooden shoe;
And the wind that sped them all night long
Ruff1ed the waves OF dew:
The little stars were the herring-fsh
That live IN the beautiful sea.
''Now cast your nets whenever you wish.
But never afraid are we.'
! So cried the stars to the fishermen three,
Wynken.
Blynken
And Nod
All night long their nets they threw
For the fish in the twinklng foam;
Then down from the sky came the wooden
shoe,
Bringing the fishermen home;
Twas all 80 pretty a sail, It seemed
As IL it could not be;
And some folks thought 1t was a dream
they dreamed
OF sailing that beautiful sea:
But Ishall name you the fishermen three,
Wynken.
Blynken.
And Nod
Wynken and Blynken are two little eyes,
And Nod Is a little head,
And the wooden shoe that sailed the skies
Is a wee ones trundle-bed;
So shut your eyes while mother sings
OF wonderful sights that be.
And yo shall see the beautiful things
As you rock on the misty sea
Where the old shoe rocked the fishermen

Blynken.
And Nod.
