Text Appearing Before Image:
I said ; For hate is strong, And mocks the songOf peace on earth, good-will to men ! Then pealed the bells more loud and deep :God is not dead ; nor doth he sleep ! The Wrong shall fail. The Right prevail.With peace on earth, good-will to men ! 231 THE CASTLE-BUILDER A GENTLE boy, with soft and silken locks,A dreamy boy, with brown and tender eyes, A castle-builder, with his wooden blocks.And towers that touch imaginary skies. A fearless rider on his fathers knee,An eager listener unto stories told At the Round Table of the nursery.Of heroes and adventures manifold. There will be other towers for thee to build ; There will be other steeds for thee to ride ;There will be other legends, and all filled With greater marvels and more glorified. Build on, and make thy castles high and fair.Rising and reaching upward to the skies ; Listening to voices in the upper air.Nor lose thy simple faith in mysteries. 232 A castle-builder, zvith his wooden blocks.And tozvers that touch imaginary skies
Text Appearing After Image:
THE BROOK AND THE WAVE The brooklet came from the mountain, As sang the bard of old,Running with feet of silver Over the sands of gold ! Far away in the briny ocean There rolled a turbulent wave,Now singing along the sea-beach. Now howling along the cave. And the brooklet has found the billow.Though they flowed so far apart. And has filled with its freshness and sweetnessThat turbulent, bitter heart! 233 THE OLD BRIDGE AT FLORENCE Taddeo Gaddi built me. I am old, Five centuries old. I plant my foot of stoneUpon the Arno, as St. Michaels ownWas planted on the dragon. Fold by fold Beneath me as it struggles, I behold Its glistening scales. Twice hath it overthrownMy kindred and companions. Me aloneIt moveth not, but is by me controlled. I can remember when the Medici Were driven from Florence ; longer still agoThe final wars of Ghibelline and Guelf. Florence adorns me with her jewelry ;And when I think that Michael AngeloHath leaned on me, I glory in myself. 234 TRAVELS BY THE FIRESIDE
