Once, long ago, I journeyed weary days A down a Tropic river; overhead The sun beat down, and from the glassy face Of the great stream beat up again, til heat Grew visible and quivered neath the eyes. Mile after mile the great trees stretched along The endless banks and all the space between Was choked with jungle; til the night that hung Like a great cloud-wave, suddenly rolled down, Windless and black, and smothered up the world! Yea! I have stretched my hand to push it back Sotangible it seemed! so thick! so still! An even wished for day! And then at length A miracle! And dawn roseo er the sea! Oh! great, wide, wondrous stretch of heaving blue! Sparkle and space and color and fresh winds! The soul is drunk with rapture, the worn frame Dazed at the measure of its comforting! So, in the midst of many weary days And nights monotonous with grief and pain. Thinking on thee to great deeds dedicate!- The bricks and mortar of the jungle here.
