You still, whatever robe you wear.
To me are always James : That name the kind apostle bore Who shames the sullen creeds, Not trusting less, but loving more.
And showing faith by deeds.
What blending thoughts our memories share !
What visions yours and mine Of May-days in whose morning air The dews were golden wine ; Of vistas bright with opening day.
Whose all-awakening sun Showed in life's landscape, far away, The summits to be won !
32 TO JAMES TREEMAN CLARKE.
The heights are gained. — Ah, s...ay not so For him who smiles at time, Leaves his tired comrades down below.
And only lives to climb !
His labors, — will they ever cease, With hand, and tongue, and pen ?
Shall wearied Nature ask release At threescore years and ten ?
Our strength the clustered seasons tax, — For him new life they mean ; Like rods around the lictor's axe They keep him bright and keen.
The wise, the brave, the strong, we know, - We mark them here or there ; But he, — we roll our eyes, and lo !
We find him everywhere !
