II. The Inheritance. Such were the Founders when they planted here The home that we inherit, title clear. Not empire, loot nor commerce urged their quest, But the one reason, elemental, best, That man shall have untrammel'd ways to God, Which if he have not, man remains a clod. This be their praise, thro' all the years to come — What was a wilderness they made a home, A home, the surest masterpiece of man ! Statesmen may scheme and conquerors may plan, Their craft will fail, their legion'd powe...r fade, Unless upon that rock their trust be laid. That is the cornerstone whereon mankind, Building tow'rds Heaven, have left the beast behind; Harm that, the beast returns. The Founders show'd How rudest hemlock huts could be the abode Of holy love that shunneth palaces — The shrine of life-long sweetest privacies — The altar to whose flame Self hourly brings Its joyful sacrifice — the sacred springs Of x-irtues and affections that control Our hearts thro' life, and keep them pure and whole.
