LONG, LONG HENCE.
| AFTER a long, long course, hundreds of years, denials, |
| Accumulations, rous'd love and joy and thought, |
Hopes, wishes, aspirations, ponderings, victories, myriads of
readers,
|
Coating, compassing, covering—after ages' and ages' encrus-
tations,
|
| Then only may these songs reach fruition. |
