THE AEGIS J906 I stood on guard for six-score years, Through hours that were bright or dark; And I never cared if they laughed at me Or called me Noah ' s Ark; For I always knew what they really felt, My dear and loyal throng, And ' t was nothing but praise in my latest days: I waited, waited long. IV. At last my fated morning came, And doom of fiery breath; To the winds of the sky my spirit flew, My body to ashen death. I live in the hearts of thousands of sons, In story, speech, and song. But I ' m lonely away from my earthly home: I wait, I wait — how long? C. F. R.

THE AEGIS. J906 Spirit of Dartmouth Hall I. On the edge of the sombre northern woods, In the winters of long ago, I summoned my Indian children forth From the lands of the sparkling snow; They came, and went, and came no more, But beneath my roof-tree strong The pale-face dwelt in the red man ' s stead: I waited, waited long. I remember the hard and bitter time Of poverty and strife. When the little college a few men loved Was battling for its life; My Webster raised his godlike arm To rescue me from wrong. And win me back my chartered rights: I waited, waited long.
