36 THE COURSE OF CULTURE. BY G. T. FESSENDEN. Sung at the Second Anniversary of the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, to the tune — ' Jiuld Lang Syne.' Survey the world, through every zone, From Lima to Japan, In lineaments of light 't is shown That culture makes the man. By manual culture one attains What Industry may claim, Another's mental toil and pains Attenuate his frame. Some plough and plant the teeming soil, Some cultivate the arts ; And some devote a life of toil To tilling heads a...nd hearts. Some train the adolescent mind, While buds of promise blow, And see each nascent twig inclined The way the tree should grow. The first man, and the first of men, Were tillers of the soil ; And that was Mercy's mandate then, Which destined man to moil. Indulgence preludes fell attacks Of merciless disease, And Sloth extends on fiery racks Her listless devotees. Hail, Horticulture ! Heaven-ordained, Of every art the source, Which man has polished, life sustained, Since time commenced his course.
