w. H. S.
HERODOTUS AT ATHENS.
FROM "HERODOTUS, " PRIZE POEM, 1876.
# & ^ # # AND, when the plaudits of the crowd are still, A stranger rises, whom they do not know. With thrilling voice, and words that seem to fill Each heart with eager longing, till they grow All wrapt in listening, and the words still flow In limpid eloquent streams, he leads them on Through all their history's maze, till o'er him slow Outspreads the radiance of the setting sun, While peals his clear voice out the tale of Mar...athon.
And they had sat long hours until this, The climax of his story ; they had heard Of giant town and giant wilderness, With wistful wonder, till that magic word Burst from his lips. Then, with one impulse stirred, 8 HERODOTUS AT ATHENS.
Ten thousand tongues were loosed with shouts that fell Upon the evening air, and undeterred For all he waved them back, the rushing swell As one in triumph bore him to the citadel.
They gave him talents of the golden dower That Athens treasured, crowned his flowing hair, Unshorn from many wanderings ; his hour Of triumph dawned at last, to make repair For all the toils that he had vowed to bear.
