“ Flash past us — unnoticed by Bill.
The elders of Science who measure the spheres
And weigh the vast bulk of the sun —
Who see the grand lights beyond aeons of years,
Are less than a bullock to ONE.
The singers that sweeten all Time with their song —
Pure voices that make us forget
Humanity's drama of marvellous wrong —
To Bill are as mysteries yet. ”

“ A song like the song of his dream
Is nothing at all to our hero's delight
In the pluck and the strength of his team.
For the kings of the earth, for the faces august
Of princes, the millions may shout ”

“ In the forest is loveliness still;
And Providence helping the life of the rose
Is a Friend and a Father to Bill.
