FARTHEST NORTH.
Northward trudge our virile heroes-
Northward toward the Pole,
Facing perils of the ice-floes-
Facing still the goal.
Many in their journey perish-
Many, all have failed;
Others still the project cherish-
Others have not quailed.
How shall they relate the story-
They who realize?
What will be the tingling glory
Of that last lone prize?
Man must ne'er his purpose alter,
He must never stop,
He must never cease or falter
Till he is on top-
Till in triumph he shall sit,
Undisputed peer,
On the very roof and summit
Of this bulging sphere!
Nothing must be left forsaken,
No thingleft unknown;
Man must everything have taken,
Czar in every zone.
Never in your efforts waary,
Till the things you get,
Try again, Commander Peary,
You can do it yet.
Bon Voyage! this time, Lieutenant,
Plant our banner high,
Win yourself the flaunting pennant,
Nearest to the sky.
W.Flongaire
Paste this in your cap
317 W.56chSt.,
and read it the Pole
