Of those I think no scorn.
King, prophet, priest, when worlds began ; But higher than these my prayer and plan • Oh, make my child the Perfect Man, The Star 'twixt night and morn." THE REED.
" ET ARUNDINEM IN DEXTERA EJUS." Beneath the memnonian shadows of Memphis, it rose from the slime, A reed of the river, self-hid, as though shun- ning the curse of its crime, And it shook as it measured in whispers the lapses of tide and of time.
It shuddered, it stooped, and was dumb, when the kings of the... earth passed along.
For what could this reed of the river in the race of the swift and the strong, — Where the wolf met the bear and the panther, blood-bathed, at the banquets of wrong .' These loved the bright brass, the hard steel, and the Gods that kill and condemn ; Yea, theirs was the robe silver-tissued, and theirs was the sun-colored gem ; If they touched thee, O reed, 'twas to wing with swift death thy sharp arrowy stem.
40 THE REED.
Then the strong took the corn and the wine, and the poor, who had scattered the seed, Went forth to the wilderness weeping, and sought out a sign in their need.
