' Who Is This That Cometh to Disturb My Restr (At The Opening Of The Vauh, October 10th, 1923, 4:30 P. M. Oglethorpe, awake, it is ive! From Georgia, thy Georgia, dost recall? Castell — the Anne — old Charleston — then the bluff Of densely wooded Yamacraiv — Savannah, drawn by thine own hand — Old Ebenezer — Frederica — Spanish guns— And that red day at Bloody Marsh? Awake, we come for Thee! Numbered no longer by an hundred and a score. But million-voiced, ive call! Come, see the travail of thy souls — Glynn ' s marshes, to sweet music their Lanier Hath taught, wave rhythmed welcome Tomochichi beckons, though his Creeks Have followed fair loskeha to the West. Cities by hundreds hum their grateful notes Within the land thou gavest them, Wherefrom great commonwealths have sprung : — Rich Birmingham is thine; Augusta fair; Electric, thine, Columbus, where the Chattahoochee roars. While at thy Georgia ' s farthest Western bounds. By the mighty Mississippi, Vicksburg Amf, lo, thy capital upon her watchful ridge. Atlanta, toils and sings and dreams of thee! Founder — Father, Oglethorpe, awake! Thou art no longer precious dust Nor group of sacred bones. But living once again thou hast become Monarch of millions! Dominant, again, thy tvill prevails. Hear this thy praise that rings through- out the land; Thine is this adulation, this vast love; Thine this memorial University; Wherein thou canst unhand thy mighty soul And teach us, as of yore, thy fairest dreams : Of friendship, militant for sad humanity Of conduct mailed in wise sobriety; Of human liberty, uncowed by slaves; Of Anglo-Saxon oneness; Thou first American and Englishman in one. Thou honored Chief of England ' s swords. Who would not fight against thy flesh and blood. Didst see, afar that Vaster Essex, That sisterhood of nations, Saxon womb- ed. To whose warm heart and steady will A world hegemony would come? Great Oglethorpe, awake from visioned sleep! All thou hast dreamed is true! At last, thy morning dawn. And thou dost rise, a King! — THORNWELL JACOBS. Twenty
