To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Wachuset hides its lingering voice Within his rocky heart, And Alleghany graves its tone Throughout his lofty chart ; Monadnock on his forehead hoar Doth seal the sacred trust, Your mountains build their monument, Though ye destroy their dust.
THE MOTHER OF WASHINGTON.
On laying the corner-stone of her monument at Fredericksburg, Virginia.
LONG hast thou slept unnoted. Nature stole In her soft ministry around thy bed, Spreading her vernal tissue, violet-gemmed, And pearled with dews.
She bade b...right summer bring Gifts of frankincense, with sweet song of birds, And autumn cast his reaper's coronet Down at thy feet, and stormy winter speak Sternly of man's neglect.
But now we come To do thee homage mother of our chief ! Fit homage such as honoureth him who pays. Methinks we see thee as in olden time Simple in garb majestic and serene, Unmoved by pomp or circumstance in truth Inflexible, and with a Spartan zeal Repressing vice and making folly grave.
186 THE MOTHER OF WASHINGTON.
Thou didst not deem it woman's part to waste Life in inglorious sloth to sport awhile Amid the flowers, or on the summer wave, Then fleet, like the ephemeron, away, Building no temple in her children's hearts, Save to the vanity and pride of life Which she had worshipp'd.
