THE TRADERS.

Up the dim aisIes Of the ages swung in
on the ocean roar,
The clank Of anchor Iron grindS the creak
Of the battled oar,
For men have put to sea in ships, search
ing their hearts desire, !t~
Since Hirams spanking merchantmen
went trading out OF Tyre.
Awash with costly merchandise. silk stufrs
and beads of glass, 'i~t
Cloths dipped in the purple murex and
arms Of the toughest brass,
wrought work of looms and FORCES, tried
best Of the very best
For trade with the wild barbarianS be-
yond IN the golden West
Rimming the Mediterranean, hugging the
redolent shores,
The trim Phoenician galley worked on the
wings of her rhythmic oars,
Past slumbering Greece and Italy, on
down to the gate of SPAIN
TIL she caught the lift of the ocean swell,
the heaVe Of the startled main.
Then up in the teeth of the norther
through the angry, spume-capped
bay,
While the rowers sweat on the aching
sweeps, snatching scant steerage
Winning at last to the sea isle and the
mines of tin and lead,
Where the small, dark, fierce-eyed people
crowd down to trade and be bled.
Or turning away to the southwerd with
IGI purple SILL
Where the long, green, deep-sea rollers
wheel in from the rim OF the
world
Till she come to the land of the peacock,
of ivory, apes and spice,
Where the black folk trade raw gold for
brass and take no thought to the
price.
Recklessly driving onward where the finger
of gain may lead,
To the utterTnost haunt of the wild folk,
to the uttermost daring deed,
TIL, laden anew with treasure such aa
only the Seamen bring,
She turns again up the curve Of the sea
and homes to the waiting king.
We with our ships of iron, with our en-
gines, compasses, charts,
We have the old sea in derision and laugh
at his Wiles and arts;
Yet these be the men that we follow their
track is the track we take,
And they weathered the ways Of COM
merce at risks which we dare not
make.
Then q hail to the Tyrian traders OF tina
far half written days
Who fashioned them boats and went down
to the sea and taught the whole
world its ways
For men have put to sea in ships search
ing their hearts desire,
Since Hiram's spanking merchantmen
went trading out of Tyre.
