And the youngsters said That the big man just lay there and cried— He was so sorry and satisfied! 63 Digitized by VjOOQ IC THE ROSE-LADY TO THE ROSES I dream that you are kisses Allah sent In forms material, that all the earth May taste of you and guess of Heaven's worth, Since it can waste such sweetness with content,— Seeing you showored o'er the Battlement— By Angel-hands plucked ripe from lips of mirth And flung in lavish clusters, yet no dearth Of rapture for the Anthem! ... I have bent Ab...ove you, nestled in some low retreat, Pressing your velvet mouths against the dust, And, ever nurturing this old conceit, Have lifted up your lips in perfect trust Against my mouth, nor found them the less sweet For having kissed the dust beneath my feet. 64 Digitized by VjOOQ IC OURS LOUISVILLE, KENTUCKY, DECEMBER 8, 1906 Read at Banquet in Honour of Henry Watterson Upon His Departure for Spain Here where of old was heard The ringing, singing word That orator and bard Alike set free To soar, through heights profound, Our land's remotest bound, Till all is holy ground From sea to sea- Here still, with voice and pen, One cheers the hopes of men And gives us faith again— This gifted one We hold here as the guest Most honoured— loved the best- Wisest and worthiest— Our Watterson.
