o, Though no statue shall be our prize; Men are needed, the brave and true, Some fair city is calling you,Wheresoever her roofs may rise. Under the elms or afar from these, Where, in the land of the dreamy South,Live-oaks droop in the morning breeze,Or, perchance, where the Western pepper-treesBurn… … THE LONGFELLOW STA1 UE AT PORTLAND, MAINE. Then, some day, in the evening brown,May you come, with your labor past,Honored hands to be folded down,Back once more to your own dear town,Never to be ashamed at last. A CHINESE VALENTINE
