Subject(s): Stedman, Edmund Clarence (1833-1908)
Upyearning yet earth anchored as the hills
Etern was he,
And musically vocal as the rills'
Glad minstrelsy.
He stood as straight and steadfast as the trees,
Yet as the wind
That stirreth them to wondrous symphonies
Was unconfined.
He was as buoyant hearted as the flowers,
Fruitful as fields,
Warm sun and wind have urged, and summer showers,
To tenfold yields.
Now he, bold mariner, is gone before
To "Shadowland;"
And we, who may not yet that way explore,
Pause on the strand --
And, gazing o'er Eternity's wide wave,
Hear, faint but sure,
His calm, familiar voice beyond the grave:
"Dear hearts, endure!"
