Carlyle and Emerson
by Montgomery Schuyler (1843�1914) |

A BALE-FIRE kindled in the night,
By night a blaze,
by day a cloud,
With flame and smoke all England woke,�
It climbed so high, it roared so loud:
While over
Massachusetts' pines
Uprose a white and steadfast star;
And many a night it hung unwatched,�
It shone so still,
it seemed so far.
But Light is Fire, and Fire is
Light;
And mariners are glad for these,�
The torch
that flares along the coast,
The star beams above the
seas. |
