Our Profession and Other Poems
Upon the tender minds of youths,

Precepts and scientific truths

Such as their yearning hearts desire.

Then there shall come a brighter day,

When darkness shall to light give way,

And Wisdom on her throne rejoice,

And speak with accent in her voice

That charms and cheers a hungry mind.

Then, students, beauty shall receive

Instead of ashes that deceive,

Their days and nights of earnest toil,

Their struggles by the midnight oil

Give recompense complete, refined.

[Pg 29]

FACT VERSUS FORM.

As shadows are to material forms,

As mists to the copious shower

As dead calms are to tornado storms

That in tropical region lower

So are educational fallacies
