WESTWARD HO ! Joaquin Miller The call to new worlds in the West seems to be as old as the race; and always the sturdy spirit of adventurers has answered that call. Valiantly they faced the unknown, leaving behind them all luxuries, and fought with plowshares to win a new kingdom for us. Yet in the march of Time, these silent pioneers have become but ghosts and memories. What strength! what strife! what rude unrest! What shocks! what self-shaped armies met! A mighty nation moving west, With all its steely sinews set Against the living forests. Hear The shouts, the shots of pioneer, The rended forest, rolling wheels, As if some half-check ' d army reels, Recoils, redoubles, comes again, Loud sounding like a hurricane. bearded, stalwart, westmost men, So tower- 1 ike, so Gothic built! A kingdom won without the guilt Of studied battle, that hath been Your blood ' s inheritance .... Your heirs Know not your tombs: the great plowshares Cleave softly through the mellow loam Where you have made eternal home, And set no sign. Your epitaphs Are writ in furrows Beauty laughs While through the green ways wandering Beside her love, slow gathering White starry-hearted May-time blooms Above your lowly level ' d tombs; And then below the spotted sky She stops, she leans, she wonders why The ground is heaved and broken so, And why the grasses darker grow And droop the trail like wounded wing. Yea, Time, the grand old harvester, Has gathered you from wood and plain, We call to you again, again; The rush and rumble of the car Comes back in answer. Deep and wide The wheels of progress have passed on ; The silent pioneer is gone. His ghost is moving down the trees, And now we push the memories Of bluff, bold men who dared and died In foremost battle, quite aside. The Crimson 1938
