Vol. Ill TRUE BLUE Hudson, Wis., June, 1902. No. 9 Class Poem. By Chas. Winuendeu. I. Long ago from foreign countries, Came a ship, the ocean o’er, Sailing with her crew of Pilgrims To a dark forbidding shore. II. This fair ship, the Maytlower christened, Long had braved tierce Neptune’s wrath, And across the mighty billows, Safely she had plowed her path. III. Yet she showed the signs of conflict. Masts were split, the bulwarks worn, Seams had spread and timbers broken, Ropes wore frayed, and canvas torn. IV. But the hearts that beat upon her, Never once had failed to be Hopeful that in their new country They should find their liberty. V. There they stood upon the foredeck Gazing out across the sea At the distant wooded country, Where their future home would be. VI. Slowly, silently they drifted Landward, borne upon the breeze, While the sun with parting splendor Bade farewell, beyond the trees.
