LINES TO OUR PRINCIPAL. Dear friend, loved friend, good bye! A thousand ways This sad old place will miss thee and regret Thy absence from the circle of its days, Which thy known presence lights and hallows yet. And from the treasury of the hours to be, The hours that are and those forever gone, These seven years will weave a wreath for thee Wrought of thy strength and goodness and prolong More aptly than the measure of our song, A lasting tribute to thy worthiness. E'en as our stately ships with sails uplift Cross the known harbor bar and onward sweep To the long lines of clouds that slowly shift Upon the far rim of the restless deep, E'en as they bear good byes and hopes that cling To those who part, yet can in parting sing A brave farewell to speed the loved one on With pleasant wind and voyage well begun So parting, now to thee we bid good bye, Thou who art gone from us to harbors new Over the crest of these the outbound seas Over the depths of ever changing blue. Unto that far-off port of Last Farewells That quiet sea where storms are laid to rest Not wholly with out storms for from their wrath Rises the wondrous circle of the path, Which seems a fragment of the islands blest Not without wind for that propels us onward That we may pass from Better unto Best, But may thy thoughts sail on in no way daunted With Hope and Faith and Courage for their crew Their sturdy colors as they e'er have Haunted Among the ranks of all the just and True, And in that port mayst thou behold completed All the best promise of thy life's long day And to thy steadfast heart be doubly meted The harvest of thy efforts. May the ray That lights the sun-kist vales of far-off heaven Sing in thy heart and in thy soul re-echo The peace that even Death cannot dismay. L. on
