TOOMBS’ OAK Now is the Itour of thy last agony! The sombre shades of death draw on a| acc To fo!«l thee in its darkness, and ruthless Ruin strikes thee with the shaft of dread decay. The Midas-touch of utumn. the last time, Doth glorify thy brandies with its gold. Ere the death-rattle of December winds Is heard to shake thy fruit and foliage Down to the earth, to sleep in death with thee. Full five decades have swept, with kingly tread. Through tin- procession of the centuries. Since Robert Toombs, fair Georgia's lordly son. Strong as the fibre of thy sturdy heart. And full of fire as thy green bark of sap Stood at thy feet to blend his fame with thine. Today ye both rest in tlie vale of death: Caught in tlie meshes of one common foe, And laid away in the dim silences. And gloom and darkness of eternal years. I hit as the ivy, green and vigorous. Doth wreathe thy trunk with its sujKTnal growth. And bide thy scars, and clothe tliec yet more fair— The mother heart of nature being kind. Tliai she doth deck thee till thou dost ap| car In death more fair than thon lust l een in life— So will thy brotlier in majestic strength, In rugged grandeur—the immortal Toombs— Stand ’midst the tcni| csts and tlie wrecks of time. Growing in beauty through | ers| ective years. A | eople’s love shall twine his name about. And glorify his princely attributes. Till he slull loom, like a white sluft of light— Its base the earth—its summit in the stars! Arthur L. Hardy — 22 —
