came.
A nascent city yet too young to name; Log-made and rustic, and a newer chord Blent in this lyric of old Nature's Lord, They were. Here on this hill, there by the stream
They grew. The forest fell, a Titan's dream Come true. Wolves' riot laughter hurt the night, The song-bird's ditties welcomed light At dawn of day. Nor bear nor wildcat's cry, Nor hostile redman could these men defy, Nor give them fear. Their merry axes rang Throughout the woods, their fertile fields soon sprang
Into green life. How fast. the others come! The hut becomes a cottage, mansion, home. The women, too, aye, braver than the men, Did do their task; and sturdy, labored then For home, and child, and husband's goodly cheer, And in that past enframed all good and dear. The humming wheel, the singing of the loom, Sopranoed tones within the bass and boom Of logs tobogg'ning on the distant hill,
251
THEN, NOW, AND THEN.
And with the tenor of the nearer mill, Then in the Distance comes your gladder day Rosemary's halcyon morning far away, Of childhood, mother's care, the father's pride, The school, the play, the task the evening ride The sunshine of a life in mirthful years Dark days when character was helped by tears. And shall you not the Distance now recall, And smile, grow serious, dream, and then withal Get uplift, and with inspiration caught From out those days, when you the fathers taught The truer way of life, the strong, the brave, And mothers kept your souls like waters lave Their pebbles, and the rocks along the shore? They did enough. What else could they do more? Here in the early, trying, and the hardier days, When paths were tracks of deer, and roads the blaze Of axe, your fathers, men of vigor, trod, Tread ye their footsteps, understand their God. Give homage, thanks, as they were wont to give, Then move ye on. Ye shall know how to live, Man, woman, child of both, as brave a life, In peace a factor and a man in strife. Your day goes on apace. Distance again Speaks loud, infinite speech and pleasure, pain: Will come in interludes as on ye go Along the tide of life's swift over-flow. Be men, be women, and as your fathers went Go ye; one end in view, one far event The Poet Laureate saw, foresee, nor fear, But lend it aid, make sure, and bring it near. And it shall climax all of life and place, Nor separate a life. And for thy meed, Take heart of grace! in soul-impassioned speed Press ye with Truth along the path of Light, Where day shall be all day, and night not night.
