 So when at the schoolhouse windows They stand, the guileless wise, I peer o'er the clustered shoulders, And see with their own bright eyes. —Sill

10 THE EPOCHA 1 9 3 7 EDWARD ROWLAND SILL Edward Rowland Sill came, as a young man, to live with his uncle in Cuya- hoga Falls, Ohio. During his stay here he taught school and wrote many of his familiar poems. He spent his last days here and was buried in Oakwood Cemetery. Since that time Sill has become famous and has received honors from all parts of the world. His poems have won for him the admiration of thousands and have greatly inspired the editors of this yearbook. Because he was a native of Cuyahoga Falls, our own city, we hope to further honor him by including some of his poetry in our yearbook. OPPORTUNITY This I beheld, or dreamed it in a dream:— There spread a cloud of dust along a plain; And underneath the cloud, or in it, raged A furious battle, and men yelled, and swords Shocked upon swords and shields A prince's banner Wavered, then staggered backward, hemmed by foes. A craven hung along the battle's edge, And thought. Had I a sword of keener steel— That blue blade that the king's son bears,—but this Blunt thing—1 he snapt and flung it from his hand, And lowering crept away and left the field. Then came the king’s son, wounded, sore bestead, And weaponless, and saw the broken sword, Hilt-buried in the dry and trodden sand, And ran and snatched it, and with battle-shout Lifted afresh he hewed his enemy down. And saved a cause that heroic day.
