i e Chanticleeri Tke Story of tke Duke Foundation By Forrest J. Prettyman Pastor, Main Street Methodist Church, Gastonia, N. C. Sons of Duke, come stand with me. On Mountain top — ' tis duty ' s call — Not here to live, but feel and see A plan of life that doth enthrall. To Mitchell I would take you first. That nothing — North or South or West May satisfy your burning thirst Of seeing, e ' re you start your quest. See all the towering hills around, Deep bedded in a fiery strand ; Here first from chaos solid ground Arose — the sky-birth of our land. Stand here at dawn of our great day, See o ' er the plains the rising sun, Here are earth ' s forces all at play. But there is work that must be done. Now look again beneath your feet, Where latent forces, discontent. Awake with mystic life to meet The call of earth and firmament. From hidden source a tiny stream Begins its pathway toward the sea, Its gentle murmur wakes a dream Of what its mission is to be. Before it pays its native dower — To water and enrich the plain — I seek a simple loan of power To forge a mystic living chain. I would not seek to lead it far From beds of moss and dancing rill ; I only seek its path to bar That it may larger service fill. I stay its journey to the glade A moment longer in the lake. Till other streamlets lend their aid Before their seaward way they take. And when they leap from barrier high, Joyous to be free again, I hold the power, and let it fly To waiting mills along the plain. Thus subtly gathered from the streams. This force I send to waiting mill. And spindles waking from their dreams Are glad their purpose to fulfill. But not for selfish end or gold, Or pride or fame — a transient thing — Do I this mystic tale unfold ; But for a higher end I sing. For see, transmuted into power The lambent streams of noble hills; But look again to richer dower, A generous benefactor wills. Again a transmutation grand. And power is changed to living mind. That nobler manhood, richer land, A higher destiny may find. From mountain stream by raindrops fed, To busy mills with winged feet. To minds in holy union wed — And thus the circuit is complete. Sons of Duke — awake — aware! Set to the task, his dream fulfill. Who mastered force of earth and air. And made them subject to his will. Our mountain plains and streams and air. By working in harmonious plan. Now sing to us of woman fair. And forge a higher, nobler man. We praise our benefactor ' s name, And sound it over land and sea: And leave at last his growing fame To generations yet to be. 3 ! t (-
