 One summit’s reached; its pointed height Obscured the path oj coming days; The higher hills, the broader ways Were hidden from our eager sight. We climbed the hillside hand in hand. Together saw the brightening morn. Rejoiced, as over flower and thorn We passed, a hopeful, happy band. We pause and scan with eager eyes The Future, misty yet, and dim, The silver pathway, bright and thin, That through the checkered valley lies. Mayhap some, seeking fame’s increase, Will scale yon mountain’s gleaming peak, Ambition’s height, while others seek A path through wooded vales of Peace. Perchance with us is one alone Who has, to illumine secrets dark, The lamp of Genius, whose sacred spark Will show him things to men unknown. And some will travel rocky dells With briars and cruel-fingered brush— Some walk by rippling streamlet’s hush Where melancholy music dwells. Comrades, Godspeed! Now heed the sound. The challenge: “Go with dauntless heart, And leave some, record of thy part.” Farewell! Success thy efforts crown! —Louisa Lanham. h'.ight
