“A DREAMER AND A DOER.” “ behold this dreamer (someth ? ” Vos, a Seer ! One who in vision rapt foresaw this wide, God-smitten earth borne on resistless tide Of spirit forces to the golden year ; A world transfigured to a luminous sphere, By sun-bright deeds and natures glorified ; Ahome-like world, so fair it may abide His coming—the heart searcher’s—without fear. A dreamer ? Yes, hut ah ! A doer too, Jeanne d’Arc of later time and fairer fame, In moral realms she conquered ; to the blue Her soul unfettered rose, mid loud acclaim: “To lead a mighty host to and do,” Sang angel choirs, “ behold this dreamer came! ” —Ella Gilbeut Ives, In Woman's Journal.
