The poet prayed, God, Civ nen!'
God gave ~ one of tongue and per,

One deep OF thought a nd brave of word
There is not one, when scan,
The more than peer OF Narda man!
OF high ideals and heart OF FIRE,
He mounted high, and modnted higher;
His daily dream OF coantrys good,
A bulwark OF her welfare stood
Considered naught but public veal,
A Nemesis for those who steal!
Not without faults-but fewer than
Some who have villifed the mani
Ambitious? True A reamer? Yes
A dreamer OF great aobeness.
Ambitious for himself and state,
Forever knocking at the gate
Behind whose portals is the prize
For those who dream and those who strives
There ne'er was yet OF God or man
An Infinite finite plan
But that embryonic dream
Sweiled the spring into stream
So, must think while others do,
But though not lesser of ahe two

lie knows the books, he knows the land;
He loves the smile, deplores the tear.

Ne orphan unfortunate
OF any kind, condition, state. -
Appealed in vain, and then ais
Was ready, aye, to gently hear.

Because he part of thenii

Thou to another field: the plow
Stands IN the furrow, and for you
The row is long-yousl pull it through
Though gray the hair and bent the hack,
We know you'll keep it in the track!
The law cut short your usefulness,
In one field but the blessedness,
OF others waits your lofty aim.
