THE THINKER
BY BERToN BRALEY

BY BERToN BRALEY
Back of the beating hammer
BY which the steel is wrought
Back of the workshops clamor
The seeker may find the thought
The Thought that is ever master.
OF iron and steam AID steel,
That rises above disaster
And tramples it under heel!
The drudge may fret and tinker,
Or labor with lusty blows,
But back of him stands the tinker
The clear eyed man who knows;
For into each plow sabre,
Each piece and part and whole,
Must go the Brains of labor
Which gives the work souli
Back of the MOTORS humming
Back of the blets that sing,
Back of the hammers drumming
: Back of the cranes that swing,
There is the eye which scans them
Watching through stress and strain
There is the Mind which plans them
Back of the hrawn the Brain!
Might of the roaring boiler
Folce of the engne's thrust,
Strength of the sweating toiler,
Greatly in these we trust
But back of them stands the schemer
The Thinker who drives things throupb.
Back of the Job-the Dreamer
Who's making dreams come true,
