Poetry February Birthdays i
"Lives of great men all remind us, We can make our lives sublime: And departing leave behind us Footprints on the sands of Time" —Longfellow. In the month of February two great men of our country. Washington and Lincoln, were born. These two have left such deep and clear Footprints on the sands of Time" that they inspire our lives as well as our poetry, of today and yesterday, WASHINGTON Where may the wearied eye repose When gazing on the great. Where neither guilty glory glows Nor despicable state? Yes,—one. the First, the Last, the best, The Cincinnatus of the West. Whom envy dared not hate, Bequeathed the name of Washington To make men blush there was but one. —Lord Byron WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY Vain is Empire's mad temptation! Not for him an earthly crown! He whose sword hath freed a nation Strikes the offered scepter down. See the throneless Conqueror seated. Ruler by a people's choice; See the Patriots task completed; Hear the Father's dying voice! Father! We. whose ears have tingled With the discord-notes of shame We, whose sires their blood have mingled In the battle's thunder-flame,— Gathering, while this holy morning Lights the land from sea to sea, Hear thy counsel, heed thy morning; Trust us, where we honor three. —Oliver Wendell Holmes WASHINGTON'S MAXIMS Think before you speak. Be not hasty to believe flying reports to the disparagement of anyone. Labor to keep alive in your heart that little spark of celestial lire called conscience. LINCOLN,. THE MAN OF THE PEOPLE He held his placeHeld the long purpose like a growing tree— Held on through blame and faltered not at praise And when he fell in whirlwind, he went down As when a lordy cedar, green with boughs Goes down with a great shout upoxi the hills, , And leaves a lonesome place in the sky. —Edwin Markham. ABRAHAM LINCOLN Tins man whose homely face you look upon. Was one of nature's masterful, great men; Born with strong arms, that unfought battles won; Direct of speech, and sunning with the pen. Chosen for large designs, he had the art Of winning with his humor, and he went Straight to his mark, which was the human heart; Wise, too, for what he could not break, he bent! —Richard Stoddard WORDS OF LINCOLN I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. Learn the laws and obey them. The face of an old friend is like a ray of sunshine through dark and gloomy clouds. I am nothing, but truth is everything. "Judge", said the funny prisoner, "give me a sentence with the word freedom in it."
