“ HIRAM.” BY ALMEDA A. BOOTH. =!= Amid her youthful scenes, In truth she’s in her teens, Yet stories long she could relate, Adventures strange and changes great By her be told. She saw the grandest sight, A nation’s rising might. She saw, when deadly conflict rose, Her children fall by southern foes A sacrifice. She gave with prayers and tears. With mingled hopes and fears, Her bravest sons, her treasures rare; In silent grief she leaves them there, Where glory lies. She saw fell slavery gone, And hailed a brighter dawn. Redeemed, she felt the nation stand, And looked upon her native land As saved anew. 15

No party name she wears, No factious spirit shares. For human kind she sets no bar; The sons of earth all brothers are, Though strange their hue. As washed on either side Tier country is by ocean tide, She looks for millions yet to go O’er sunny plains and hills of snow, In mingled throng. She sees a ripening field, That harvests rich will yield Of human souls, but reapers few, And trusts her sons she might imbue With purpose strong. She boasts no high-born name— Plebeian is her fame. No lordly foot-step in her halls, No courtly grace within her walls— No pride of birth. Tet elegance refined She seeks and hopes to find In daughters gentle, sons well-bred. For noble rank, she takes instead Their modest worth. New names for mater dear, As college, we shall hear. 1 hough titles such she choose to don, No airs, we think, she’s putting on; She has good sense. 16
