The Line on the Sand.

With anchor up, in waiting,
The ships stood off the shore;
The band of bold explorers
Were faint of heart, and sore;
When out stepped grim Pizarro.
The great conquistador!
He stepped five PAGES slowly,
re PAGES from the band;
His good sword from Toledo
He bore within his hand,
And with it's point he traced them
A line upon the sand!
ION this side lie the danger"
So spake his bearded lips,
Death. hunger. hardship, also
Wealth. fame beyond eclipse!
And OH the other comfort.
And the home ships!"
And certain ones passed over
The line. and with him stood
Death scorning, SCARED old fighters
OF the brave old Spanish blood
But to the rest disheartened,
The ships for home seemed good.
So comes the choice to mortals,
The line upon the sand.
On one side hardship, danger,
And, haply, glory stand;
But few there be cross over
When ease lies close at hand.
