Once its streets were filled with seamen; Life and bustle everywhere. Times were good and money. plenty, And each home could boast its share. We have seen the artist’s likeness Of it as it used to be, { W5th its harbor filled with shipping Vessels waiting at the quay. Gone the wharves, the buildings, vessels, Far beyond our sight or ken, Gone the fathers and the mothers Who knew the place as it was then. Tho’ the tide has ebbed and left it, Yet within it, sturdy souls Live and wage life’s daily war- fare, E’en as they did of old. Want stalks not within its borders. Nor do riches come their way, None holds himself above neighbor— Reckons all one common clay. his Though but people’s chances Of becoming rich or great, When this life on earth is ended, And we reach the pearly gate few her And the Judge shall stand before them, And survey the gathered host, In the contest of the ages, ‘Who can know which counts the most?
