pronhetic Poem

Prophetic Poem.
To the Editor of The Gate CITY:
In The Fra for the current month
lis published poem that was pro,
phetic at the time 1t was written; anu
Il is worth considering by nations oth-
or than England.
It is piteous thing that the nina
capable of conceiving such thought re-
verified to such baseness and vileness
that its pcssessor died dtsSraced and
almost forgotten. Yet. We must re-
member that, up from the slime, the
nth and the muck underneath the
wafer reaches the stem, unfolding a
blossom IMPLYING purity itself. The
poem is by Oscar Wilde and is en-
titled
AVE IMPERATRIX.
Set in this stormy Northern sea,
Queen of these restless fields Of tide,
ENGLAND, what shall men say OF thee,
Before whose feet the worlds DIVIDE.
The earth, brittle globe of glass.
Lies in the hollow of thine hand,
And through its heart of crystal pass,
Like shadows through a twilight
land. "a j.,
The spears of crtmSon-Sulted war,
The long white1crested waves OF
fight,
And all the. deadly fires which are
The torches of the lords of Night.
Go! crown with thorns thy gold
crown'd head,
Change thy glad song to song OF
pain;
Wind and WILD wave have got thy
dead,
And will not yield them back again
Wave and wild wind and foreign shore
Possess the flower of English land
Lips that thy lips shall kiss no more:
Hands that shall never clap thy
hand
" here are the brave, the strong. the
fleet?
Where is our English chivalry?
Wild grasses are their burial sheet,
And sobbing waves their threnody.
O loved ones living far away.
what word OF love can dead lips.
send?
o wasted dust! o senseless clay!
Is this the end? is this the end?
peace, peace! we wrong the noble
dead
To yex their solemn slumber so;
Though childless, and with thorn
crown'd head,
Up the step road must England go.
