GLOBE LITERARY BUREAU 150 NASSAU STREET, NEW YORK CITY Readers will oblige both the advertiser and us by referring to BVERY WHERE. A Tribute to Dickens. BY WILL CARLETON. [The following poem was written at the time of the great novelist's death, and may perhaps not improperly be re-published now, in this centennial year of his birth.] ACROSS the foaming, word-lashed sea of thought, Where heavier craft were struggling with the storm, The winds, one day, an unknown vessel brought, Of flaunting streamer and fantastic form. Old captains shook their grizzled heads in doubt, And vainly strove to make the stranger out; And critic-gunners raised their ready hand, To fire at what they could not understand. But crowding sail she rode the dangerous waves, The outstripp'd jester, smiling, dropped his pun; And jubilantly fired it at the skies! The laboring throng, when their day's toil was o'er, And viewed with wonder and delight oft-told, For there, arrayed in quaint and genial pride, And many a passenger the people knew; And ever as they gazed, and rushed to gaze, And gleamed upon their glad eyes, through the haze, There came a ship of stranger seeming still, And thousands crowded 'round her, with one will, So one by one to port the vessels came, At tyrant, rogue, and snob, and titled boor. And so the millions, eager to confess The pleasures they from his creations drew, Hastened to praise, and glorify, and bless The toiling man whose face they hardly knew, Who, in his lonely room, worked for his goal, With busy brain, and tender, yearning soul; And with his good pen built and rigged and manned The noble argosies his genius planned. But one dark day the news gloomed o'er the earth. Had gone where first his clear-eyed soul had birth, As this untitled king of grief and mirth, Whose subjects mourned in every clime of earth! O master of the heart! if in yon land Thou canst but wander through its streets and vales, And then before the countless millions stand And tell thy merry and pathetic tales, If thou canst yet thy daily toil prolong, |
