HE DREAMER.

"Come down." we cried to him. leave
off thy lonely
Watch on the mountain height;
Belize the foeman comes, and wilt thou
only
Be missing from the fght?"
No word he answered, yet we knew when
ended
The long days doubtful war
We had not won had he left undefended
His lone outpost affair."
"Come down. we cried again. our
streams are failing.
What dost thou mid the stones
On the bare hillside? Hear the children
walling!
with thirst the whole earth groans."
''Drink them he laughed to us, and rested
glowing
Beside his well-used tools,
And down the rocks imprisoned fountains
flowing
Sang into sudden pools.
He was'not one of US. His rapt eyes, shin
ing
Like moonlight yelled in showers,
Had the seer's vision, outward far divining
Horizons beyond ours.
We heard the waves break, he small wa
tiers yelling
IN darkness meath the sod,
And what to us was but the night wind
swelling
He called the voice of God.
And oft when Sorrow sighed, or we in
watches
OF Fears long night our wrongs
Told in the dark, he 'wildered us with
snatches
OF strange and haunting songs,
Our souls enthralling with a potence under
Inc music's ebb and flow,
Like far-bown echoes of the trumpet
thunder
That stormed walled Jericho.
But now silence falls, and we awaken
Dim is our dawn and late!
The prophet-voice we thought reed wind
shaken
Hath passed within the gate,
And our dull hearts now read Alright the
story
Our dreamer always knew
Life's best is dreaming best, and Heaven 8
own glory,
Mans dreams and Gods come true.
