“ONE DAY MORE.”

THE cordage creaks and rattles In the wind. With freaks of sudden hush; the reeling sea Now thumps Hke solid rock beneath the stern. Now leaps with clumsy wrath, strikes short, and, falling, Crumbled to whispery foam, slips rustling down The broad backs of the waves, which jostle and crowd To fling themselves upon that unknoWn shore, Their used familiar since the dawa of time. Whither this foredoomed life !z guided on To.sway on triumphs hushed, aspiring poise One glittering moment, then the break fulfilled. One day more, These muttering shoalblalns leave T the helm to me. God, let me not In their dull ooze be* stranded; Let not this one frail bark, (o hollow Which I have dug out the pith and sinewy heart Of my aspiring life’s fair trunk, be so Cast up to warp and blacken In the sun, Just as the opposing wind ‘gins whistle off His cheek swollen mates and from the leaning mast Fortune’s full sail strains forward! One poor day! Remember whose and not how short it Is. It Is God’s day; it is Columbus’, A lavish day! One day with life and heart Is more titan time enough to find a world. —“Columbus.” James Russell Lowell.
