Who knows the words of praise they sayWhen one of us upon the earthShall justify his hour of birth? We follow them who lived before. Because they lived we novy have lifeAnd strength to meet its time of strife. For us they opened wide the door, Bequeathed to us all things they learned,Left guideposts on the roads they turned. And to the best that they could know, Pointed the way for us to go. The dead have sung the songs we sing,Have loved these roses and the dewAnd smiled beneath our skies of blue. Seen the swift swallows on the hoped as we are hoping at their tasks from year to year— That we who were come to birth Should find a kindlier, richer earth. We are the living now, and yet Soon we must go to join the vastUncounted army of the past On whom the sun of life has set. And like our dead, whose young we influence shall travel far— Behind us countless ages stay. To learn from us the better way. {Copyright, Edgar A. Guest.)(Used by permission.) 173. OTIS M.
