THE PINES
We sleep in the sleep of ages,
the bleak, barbarian pines;
The gray moss drapes us like
sages, and closer we lock
our lines,
And deeper we clutch through
the gelid gloom where never
a sunbeam shines.
On the flanks of the storm
gored ridges are our block
battalions massed;
We surge in a host to the sullen
coast, and we sing in the
ocean blast;
! From empire of sea to empire
of snow we grip our
empire fast
I To the niggard lands were we
driven, ’tvvixt desert and floes
ate v\e penned;
To us was the Northland given,
ours to stronghold and defend!
Ours till the world be liven in
the crash of the utter end;
Ours from the bleak beginning,
through tlie aeons of
death-like sleep;
Ours from the shock when the
naked rock was hurled from
t!ie hissing deep;
jOurs through the twiiight ages
| o «
of weary glacier creep.
Wind of the East, Wind of the
West, wandering to and fro,
| Chant your songs in our
topmost boughs, that the
sens of men may know
| The peerless pine was the first
| to come’ and the pine will
be last to go!
Gain to tlie verge of the
hog*back ridge where the
vision ranges free;
Pines and pines and the shadow
of pines as far as the eye
can see;
A steadfast legion of stalwart
knights in dominantempery.
Sun, moon and stars give
answer: shall we not
staunchly stand
Even as now, forever, wards
of the wilder strand,
Sentinels of the stillness,
lords of the last, lone land?
