(For The Times.)
There is but one high hero whom ? na.ne
As worthy of a fellowship with thee?
Dead Arthur, heir of an immortal lame,
Dead Arthur, sleeping toy that summer
sea
That washes his lone use. "Perchance I
dream
And Arthur was not! Ah, how doubly
sweet
To know no misty legend, with us gleam
Of light forever growing vague ana nest,
Can rob our history's rich inheritance
Of thy high deeds; thou nobles "-heart
of all,
Who ever in wild battle Tjreak fair lance
Or wooed young beauty in her courtly
hall.
Thou, thou the fearless! Thou whom chiv?
alry
'Bound by her laws, and said, "Here
stands my Knight!
Jealous for others, from all selfhood free,
ifayal td Godi and the ?unchanging}
right"?
Unruffled by the little ways of men,
Indifferent to the courts of praise or
blame,
When shall we ever find thy peer again"/
Where glows a star to set beside thy j
name?
Philosopher?yet filled with hashing'fire!
Courtier?yet veiling steel in velvet
word!
?Nought lacked he that a soldier might
desire
Judgment and mercy watch-id beside his
sword.
What boots success or failure? Is there
good
Always in triumphs man must recog?
nize?
What matter if the stormy sisterhood
Kiss or cry out with tear-^vet angry
eyes?
For in a little while is all torgot:
One thing alone is worth the long days'
strife ?
(Wherein joy dies, grief lives, and hope
is noO;
To tach?as thou hast aught U3 by thy
life!
