21 THE BUILDERS OF GREATER GOUCHER There is a charm in ancient old-world shrines, In hoary colleges whose willowed hacks Slope greenly down to Miltonas sedgy Cam. Here all is peace; dim shapes of long ago People each rosy garden-nook7 and saints Hallow each chapel-window, girt with light And garlanded with gules and blue and gold. Aye, down these walks right many a poet paced Mute, musing, held ecstatic in the thrall Of beauty age-enchaliced yet his heart Afiood with dream-creation never knew The joy of those gray masters who beheld, Long years before, their visions wrought in stone Rear first bright sun-tipped pinnacles to God. And we who stand upon this sunny hill Far-looking over wood-crowned Maryland, Shall be no idle dreamers: we shall feel The joy of seeing visions realized, The thrill of glimpsing through these mellowed oaks White spires of august learning, and shall say, iiWe are their builders; we have wrought them 30.,9 DR. J. M. BEATTY, JR., 1921
