Oh, listen not to the melting strain Of the siren luring captain and swain, The very ship and the crew, A wandering course to pursue, Much rather strive witli might and main Against the tide and the hurricane Than aimlessly drift on the glassy main Of dreamy hue. The song and the dream are but links in the chain So deftly wrought by that daughter of Cain. And be the sky never so blue, ' Tis a screen for the sulphurous hue, Foreboding the story of Sodom again. Your red life blood she would seek to drain. A pestiferous corpse ' midst the heap of the slain, Is this a possible You? No, no, my son, God did ordain You should to the heavenly land attain. Where dreams come true. Where the sky is eternally blue. You ' ll find the fields of golden grain Awaiting you, and the peaceful lane. The harps are tuned for the sweetest strain They ever knew. And even here an endless train Of vessels filled with the goldenest grain Shall come to you By the upward view, A store of renewed and welcome gain To the battle-weary arm and brain And the heart, aye, the heart of finest grain, To the heart of the possible You. Put on your strength, for strength shall reign. And now go forth to the martial strain No one may rue : The foe subdue, The tempter eschew. And whatever you do, Be true, be true, To the actual God and the possible You. — Prof. Carl Baxter. 24
