THE HEARTHSTONE
When the logs are burning free, Then the fire is full of glee: When each heart gives out its best, Then the talk is full of zest: Light your fire and never fear, Life was made for love and cheer.
THE SUN-DIAL
Time can never take What Time did not give; When my shadows have all pa.s.sed, You shall live.
THE STATUE OF SHERMAN BY ST. GAUDENS
This is the soldier brave enough to tell The glory-dazzled world that 'war is h.e.l.l': Lover of peace, he looks beyond the strife, And rides through h.e.l.l to save his country's life.
April, 1904.
THE SUN-DIAL AT WELLS COLLEGE
The shadow by my finger cast Divides the future from the past: Before it, sleeps the unborn hour In darkness, and beyond thy power: Behind its unreturning line, The vanished hour, no longer thine: One hour alone is in thy hands,-- The NOW on which the shadow stands.
March, 1904.
