He struck the slumbering lyre.
And into the eyes of the multitude There leaped an answering fire; His hand swept defter, for he felt Each stroke and shade of tone Vibrate their heartstrings, and he knelt And answered with his own.
Ashes, Only Ashes Ashes, only ashes— Once a youth gave ear and credence To the voice that calls each name.
And he took the white-hot pathway Leading to the Hall of Fame; And he passed within its portals - Hand-carved portals, towering high — While the rabble gazed and... shouted; "There's a new star in our sky.** And within were thrones and scepters.
Jeweled stoles and mural crowns; Ermine robes and parchment honors; Gold insignia; broidered gowns — But a sound came; of light footfalls Tinkling on a puncheon floor.
And he knew all these were ashes — Ashes only — nothing more.
44 CHILD SLAVES Ashes, only ashes — Once a man from out a casement.
In a stately marble pile^ Gaaed upon his vrorld and questioned: •Is it really worth the while?" He had bartered things eternal For a mouldering estate; As a widess world counts greatness He had striven to be great.
