PEARY'S SLEDGE.
(By George Edward Woodberry)
Rude sledge, that shalt the mortal
relic be,
When he is nameless dust of that
strong soul
Who won the great adveutur. of the
Es
Pole,
1884
I read the lines ments of fate in
thee,
Thou art the image of necestity,
Framed of denial, the wise will's
control -
"Least will do most," Spare all,
and win the whole,"
Thou sayest "Ar life, are broth-
ers unto me."
So was the soul accoutred, in and
out;
So stood he on the gray roof of the
world,
Gazing on heavens he lifted up from
earth;
Illimitable chaos round about
Knelt to his flag; victor, beneath
him whirled
Earth's axis; and within him was
man's mirth.
