MY WISE
', Unto the world great diadem Could I but add one single gee 'Ere life were spent, , One heart-sprung lay, whose softemn; chime c Should echo through the halls of time, . I'd rest content. ! I ask no part with those who wrought ' The mighty pyramids of thought. Our heritage, Unshaken by the driftting sand • Of endless change, serene they stand ■ From age to age. I If on the plaoid sea of time .! The zephyr of my simple rhyme ! Should ripple make, '.< Which widening ever through the J"» , I Upon the distant misty shores I 1 At last should break. 1 Then feeling that. I have not beet •'A borrower of the dust in vain, ; ; Where life was spent. And that unto the crown of thoiiint ■ This simple jewel I had brought 'l I'd rest contout. 'i —Warren Pease. ■
