.."" NL.H. .# TN
From the Westminster Gazette.
They had missed him in the valley,
they we're crouching in a hollow
They we're sheep without a shep'
herd. they were few.
Said the youngest to the eldest: 1--WE
must find hfm-we must follow,
We must follow, follows follow till
we do"
Said the eldest to the youngest: "Lo!
/ know the road he's taken,
He is waiting where the pile he
lighted burns.
His words is on my spirit and my
faith is still mistaken;
We must follow, follow, follow till
he turns"
Said the youngest to the eldest: lis
ten, listen, o my brother,
Lo, the fire in the valley has gone
out;
But up among the mountains he has
lighted him another,
We must follow, follow, follow we
must shout"
Said the. eldest of them, angered: 10
the stripping has been drinking
But the youngest only curled his
pleasant lips
"He is watching on the mountains
where the sun he loved Is sinking;
We must follow, follow, follow.
where it dips"
So they sought him down the valley
arm in arm in friendship linking,
And they stumbled on the ashes in
the dark:
But they found him on the mountains
where the u he loved was st1k
ing.
With his fingers spread to shield a
newborn spark.
And he laughed them out a promise
those abandoned ii the hollow,
"There are other flames and other
suns beside:
But to know them you must follow
you must follow, follow, follow
So they followed, followed, followed
till they died.
