The affrighted ostrich dares not dust her wings THOMPSON 279 Anear this Presence. The long caravan's Dazed camels stop, and mute the Bedouins stare. This symbol of past power more than man's Presages doom. Kings look and Kings despair: Their scepters tremble in their jeweled hands, 5 And dark thrones totter in the baleful air I MAURICE THOMPSON 1844-1901 GEOLOGIST, poet, literary critic, and lover of all outdoor things, Maurice Thompson was born at Fairfield, Indiana, and died at Craw- fords vi...lle. His early life was spent in Georgia, and he was a soldier in the Confederate army. After the war he returned to Indiana, where he practiced law and later became state geologist. About ten years before his death, he joined the literary staff of the New York Inde- pendent. Besides poems and stories, he wrote much about birds, archery, fishing, and kindred subjects. Whatever he wrote was healthy in tone and independent in spirit. A PROPHECY FROM "LINCOLN'S GRAVE" OLD soldiers true, ah, them all men can trust, Who fought, with conscience clear, on either side ; Who bearded Death and thought their cause was just ; Their stainless honor cannot be denied ; 10 All patriots they beyond the farthest doubt ; Ring it and sing it up and down the land, And let no voice dare answer it with sneers, Or shut its meaning out ; Ring it and sing it, we go hand in hand, 15 Old infantry, old cavalry, old cannoneers.
