To I9IO SEN IOI CLASS POliM We fain would see into the future, But would not trust our sight so far, We know it would be mere pretension And based on what we really are ; Since prophets powers are the rapport Of spirit ' s voices fraught with will And human modes and notes of being And not the inward seer ' s — until We raise our mortal eyes from finite High upward to infinite power, and There in hallowed comprehension See and feel and understand. Oh, could the poet ' s wish for better And higher use of dowered powers, But show in model exposition How best to use these minds of ours! But since it works not so, and guidance Leaves itself for nobler minds ; we Can but dimly, O how dimly. Look on to what we wish lo be. The tongues of bards, the lips of muses Would leave the praise but scarce begun Of deeds, by which these sturdy exiles Conquered in the land they won. How they, from meekness into pride rose. And thence to self-respect ; which last Soon merged into entire dominion O ' er self; such profit from the past! With duty first a phantom spirit Her voice grew clearer as they sped. Her sweetly sympathetic pleadings Encouraged, beckoned from ahead: And there upon an age-worn summit They found her. pausing for a space. Allowing them a moment ' s breathing Ere they again took up the chase: And going each and every runner The classic parchment, wisdom wrought. And typifying meed of service Though of itself intrinsic nought. But see! O youth, X) fellow-runners! The race is scarce begun to-day Again see Duly how she poses With one arm becks, one points away To where one height succeeds another Each higher than its nearer neighbor; Pursue and climb and strive and clamber By dint of persevering labor. And gain at last that awful height, Now spired in the misty blue And crowned with brilliant, pearly light So dazzling, blinding to the view That man its lustre only bears By slow approach through tailsome years And gains at last his goal. May you! J. M. H.
