Gems In Verse
THE DREAM OF COLUMBUS.

pAn.
How vast soe'er to US may seem
The reach of some stupendous
scheme.
Gods issue, far outruns the dream
God stirs the dreamer to aspire,
He fills his bosom with the fire
OF lofty hope and large desire,
But greater than the dreamer's
thought,
And farther than the goal he
sought,
Gods mighty purposes are wrought.
What grander vision ever woke
Mans spirit with its master stroke
Than that which on Columbus
When. first God planted in his
breast
The seed of that divine unrest
Which sought the east. but found
the west!
quaint,
Still lingering like echoes faint,
OF Viking bold and sailor saint,
He unused upon their olden tale
And dreamed some day to spread
his sail
Before the westward moving gale,
Until, where eastern planets shone,
His ship should haply come upon
The golden realm of Prester John;
Untll-oh, glorious day to be,
Adventuring forth in manhood free
He solved the mystery Of the seal
The dream close welded to his will
Long years of failure could not
kill
More steadfast did they make him
STILL
He heard the cackling mirth of
tOf mobiles, the ignoble tools)
He bore the scathing scorn of
schools.
Yet could not from his quest be
turned
The fire within that blazed and
burned
All doubt defied. all danger spurn-
ed.
Until at last with ships and men
They saw him sail beyond their ken,
Nor deemed he'd e'er return again.
"He goes" they said, ION errand
blind!"
We know that he went forth to find
land of promise for mankindl
Ambitions many colored flame
Before him shone-worth. wealth
and fame,
princely place. a noble name
The stalwart sailors manly pride.
The scholars reputation wide
All these he saw. and more beside
Yea, more-for, ever as he dreamed,
Religions light about him streamed,
Its sacred symbol Ger him CLEANED
New provinces. new power TOR
Spain
He fain would find. but still more
fain
New realms where Christ the Lord
should reign!
v.
Twas thus Columbus dreamed
twas thus
His spirit strong. adventurous,
When sailors murmured. mutinous.
Or when, as day on day went by,
And naught appeared but sea and
sky.
His own resolve was like to die
O'ercame the danger from without.
O'ercame the deadly inner doubt,
Put all his spirits foes to rout.
For in the sky that DER him bent,
Gods vision still before him went,
The holy hope. the high intent.
And thus sustained his course he
kept
Until his eye, that rarely slept,
But still the wide horizon swept
Beheld. as he the darkness scanned.
A light-a light!-a blazing brandt
And there, thank God. at last was
land,
Beyond the widest reach of man,
Beyond his farthest power to scan.
God frames a farther future plan.
God chooses with unerring art
The player of noble part,
He makes him great In brain and
heart.
He fits the actor for the role.
But never cen the chosen soul
May see Gods drama as whole.
Columbus died or ere he learned
His work a richer wage had earned
Than that for which he toiled and
yearned
For grand as was the dream he
knew,
Gods vision held vaster view
To make the whole worlds dream
come true'
