THINGS' BEFORE WORDS.
The great Avords never Aver© Avrit, The great songs never were sung.: They that Avere greatest did thendeed Without pen or tongue. . . The word -from a- heart of flame Blazed and flickered and died; The moving song the minstrel sang Passed with the time and tide. But tho Avords that never w-ere writ, And the songs that never were sung. In the silent hearts of heroes wrought Without pen or tongue. Instead of a AA-ord —a deed, Instead of a song—a man ; The things that aro greatest w*cro fashioned thus Since the Avorld began. —Harold Johnson, in “The BridgeBuilders.” •
