(William Mackay) title: Sonnets and Other Verse date: None words: 9866 flesch: 75 summary: Go down, grand Book, from hoary sire to son; Keep by the Book of books thy wonted place; Tell what a son of man hath felt and done, And make of us and ours a noble race,-- A race to scorn the sordid greed of gold, To spurn the spurious and contemn the base, Despise the shams that may be bought and sold,-- A race of brothers and of men,--a race To usher in the long-expected time Good men have sought and prophets have foretold, When this bright world shall be the happy clime Of brotherhood and peace, when men shall mould Their lives like His who walked in Palestine; The truly human manhood thou dost show, Leading them upward to the pure divine Nature of God made manifest below. Or so much better than the immigrant That we should make our hearts as adamant And guard against defilement with a wall? Nay, but our land is large and rich enough For us and ours and millions more--her need Is working men; she cries to let them in. keywords: day; days; god; gold; good; land; life; man; master; men; mind; nature; preacher; soul; spirit; spring; thou; thought; time; way; winter; work; world cache: 37365.txt plain text: 37365.txt item: #5 of 7 id: 38572 author: Kiser, Samuel E.

Of the human or personal record of William Henry Smith very little has been discovered. (1) Since the salary-books of the Metropolitan Street Railways show, during the year 1906, 182 conductors named Smith in their employ, 38 of whom were named William Smith and 12 William Henry Smith, it is easy for the reader to conceive my task in establishing the identity of our Poet. keywords: car; conductor; fare; gill; girl; grip; love; pansy; slang; smith; sonnets cache: 5332.txt plain text: 5332.txt
