In a new dawn of knowledge there was one Looked, with clear sight, over vast wastes of ocean, 56 Whispkrings of the Sphinx Pictured broad countries set in equipoise On the round earth, the far antipodes To the known East, a new world in the West.
The daring voyager, whose clear-seeing mind Had studied Nature in her many forms, — Had dared to doubt what all the world believed; Had dared believe what doubted all the world — Put forth his barks to sea; steered to the west; « Sailed o'er the trackl...ess blue to that far land He oft had seen in his prophetic dreams.
Waiting his coming on the ocean's edge.
That land he foimd, and back returning told His wondrous story to the admiring world.
A thousand vessels sailed upon the track Of the bold sailor who had shown the way.
Landing their freights of men of eastern race In forest-homes of Indians of the West.
Their races could not mingle; step by step.
Each step disputed, was the red man driven Back from the ocean — back imtil his path Ending in mountains, deserts, or the sea, He could retreat no more: here, brought to bay.
