Testimony Of the Dust
By Edwin Markham

VOICES are crying from the dust Of Tyre.
v From Karnak and the stones OF
Babylon
1--WE raised our pillars upon self-desirc,
And persisted from the large gaze Of the
sun"
A grandeur looked down from the pyramid,
A glory came on Greece, light on Rome;
But in them all the ancient traitor hid,
And so they passed like momentary foam.
There was no substance in their soaring
hopes;
The voice of Thebes is now desert cry;
A spider bars the road with flmy ropes,
Where once the feet OF Carthage thun-
dered by
A bittcrn cries where once Queen Dido
laughed;
thistle mods where once the Forum
poured;
A lizard lifts and listens on shaft.
Where once of old the Colosseum roared.
# is q vision waiting and aware;
And you must draw it down, O men OF
worth
Draw down the new Republic held in air
And make for it foundations on the earth.
Read in the Senate by Senator VdrdG-
man.
