By THE AUTHOR

A star stood large and white awest, Then Time uprose and testified; They push’d the mailed wood aside, They toss’d the forest like a toy, That great forgotten race of men, The boldest band that yet has been Together since the siege of Troy, And followed it and found their rest.
—Miller
