RICHARD WATSON GILDER by JOHN HUSTON FINLEY

First Line: WITH RICHARD WATSON GILDER I BEGIN
Last Line: THAT ALWAYS FOUND AT LAST THE COMPASSED POLE.
Subject(s): GILDER, RICHARD WATSON (1844-1909);
With Richard Watson Gilder I begin
For he was first of those I came to know
As friend amid the eld Centurions.
His eyes like coals of fire e'er burned
Beneath his shaggy brow yet unconsumed.
His thought was like the needle's quavering
That always found at last the compassed Pole.
