Summary

Description
English: His work was done by conscientious toil

'Mongst faded manuscripts and time-worn books, By faithful searches in forgotten nooks, And earnestness which hindrance could not foil: By frequent burning of the midnight oil, By careful thought which seldom overlooks A .... to truth, and never fully brooks Defeated purpose. Children of the soil Whose records thus are rescued from decay Cannot but thank the patient, constant mind That journeys down an ever-darkening way To gather up its scattered lore, and bind ........ annals to a future day,

And moves clear-sighted where ourselves were blind.
