The Library.
Exultant mind, that evermore has sought And garnered 'light through dark, here freely gives From out its store. Here is the realm of thought Immortal, where each thinker ever lives — Where zvords that glowed of old glow yet again, Gleaming across the bournes of race and clime, Instant to serve the present world of men, Voicing in timeless speech the things of time. Here to full day those scriptures are unsealed That spelled the Father’s trust in Freedom’s name;- ' Here by her shrine are books to guard and shield And set new measures to her sacred flame. Seekers zvho come shall her own presence find, Mantled with light of man’s all-conquering mind. —Mp. W. A. Slade, an official of the United States Congress Library, in Scribner’s Magazine.
