His prow was pointed toward the Southern stars g He ploughed a furrow half-way round the world. The winds of many zones tugged at his spars And beat his deck before his sails were furled. On, on, and on-three thousand leagues of sea, Untried, unknown, he traversed to be free. Stolid and stern, unsightly and uncouth, No scented darling he forcourtly game g But in that slow speech there was steadfast truth, And dauntless courage in that stubborn frame. , . On Afric's farthest cape he made his home, And thanked the good God he could cease to roam. The Kings played chess, as Kings are wont to play, Each move an end to some fair land's repose. , On Afric's fields, three thousand leagues away, O.ne tyrant's flag came down, another rose. ' The Dutchman saw with gratitude profound. V He hailed a savior- a worse tyrant found. Vain his long search o'er many sounding seas. Still on the heights doth Freedom love to dwell, To shake her tresses in the mountain breeze, And hear the tales the upland forests tell. Far to the North, where snowy summits rise, The Boer, outmastered, turned his longing eyes. 88 '
