Halcyon . ent We rowed neath the low-hung voice broke the mighty stillness. Een nature was breathing low;While deep in our souls the music Of earth fell with cadence slow. The Gentleman from England—Twenty years ago,when I first began to speak in meeting, I determinedthat if it should ever be my fortune to come to AmericaI would speak not to one branch alone of the Friends,but to both. Edward Palmer, thirty-five minutes later—Darnedif I dont wish that hed speak to the other branch fora while. He went to the class, Economics—He hadnt studied that day— And slept all through that is the usual way. 206 ^be lEnb The goal is reached, at anchor now Our good ship lies in state ;The sails are down, the masts and prow A future crew the bay, the hills beyond. The sun is sinking low. And sends across the peaceful wavesIts red and golden glow. And as we linger on the shoreA parting word to tell. The light grows dim—and now tis gone-Farewell, old friends, farewell!. ^liii^^
