Evening Republican, Volume 17, Number 141, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 13 June 1913 — The Emigrants. [ARTICLE]

The Emigrants.

Europe complains of our riches, Sets up a howl and a fuss, Swift her art treasures are passing Over the ocean to us. t Here is a brooding Madonna, Dream of the painter of old, Yonder a burgher of Rembrandt " Stands where the shadows enfold. Here is an Angelus peasant, Reverent, patient and slow, Crowding with many another Over the briny to go.

’TIs hot the lure of a Croesus Sends them to fare on the trip Nay, these art treasured of Europe Come on the emigrant ship. —McLandburgh Wislon.
