IM- - 2 T HE D E C This hitherto unpublished poem by Mark Twain appears in The Pilot through the For thirty years. Then came a day When all my pride full low was laid, ER LI T! courtesy of Mr. Jervis Langdon, nephew and intimate associate of this great writer The Year Book Board extends to Mr Lang- don its rnost grateful thanks for this unique and highly valued privilege' ALMsHoUsE ATTENDANT Consider Sir in a time long past the fame of his great ser- vices filled the world' now he lies dying here friendless forlorn and forgotten and mutters his reproaches with unconscious lips OU sneer you ships that pass me by Your snow pure canvas towering proud You traders base why once such fry Paid reverence when l1ke a cloud Storm swept I drove along My Admiral at post his pennon blue Faint in the Wilderness of sky my long Yards brlstllng with my gallant crew My ports flung wide my guns displayed My tall spars hid in bellymg sail! You struck your topsalls then and made Obelsance now your manners fail Well go your Way and let me dream Was strong and young and life did seem Made all for Joy when I like you Did skim the sea all bravely clad And whether skies in splendor shone Or palled the world m gloom, was glad 0 golden days where are you flown! For thirty years I served the wars And trod the deep m sinful pride Begot of my brave battle scars And cherished stains where heroes died Remotest oceans knew my fame Remotest lands paid court to me With thundering guns and spouting flame And welcoming hosts on bended knee And all my honor men did slay As 'twere a worthless thing They said. This ship is old, and fails apace, Her form is warp'd, her spars astrain. Her sails but rags-it were disgrace To let her bear the flag again. The mgrates sold me! and I sank From that high service of the State To sordid commerce' taking rank With your sort bearing freight Of hams and soap and corn and hay And manned by sloven longshore clods Profanmg decks where once held sway The Nelson breed of Warrior gods Some while I wistful watched to see If my wide world had me forgot If fleets would dip their flags to me And fortresses salute O lot Full hard to bear was mme' No soul Remembered me' No topsail strikes No color dips' My humble role Now twas, to dip to these and strike my kites' Well thirty years I Wrought m trade And always shabbier I grew And then once more I fell a grade And carried swine as freight and crew Full forty years I bore their cross And led this life of nameless shame Then foundered m a happy gale And derelict became The years they come and the years they go As I drift on the lonely sea Reckmg no more than the winds that blow VVhat is in store for me For my shames are over my soul at peace At peace from loathsome strife And I wait in patience for my release From the insult of this world s life MARK TWAIN I' 1- , ' - I I 0 0 I I 1 1 .1 if ' S, I E .
