Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Education for Life: The Story of Hampton Institute, Told in Connection With the Fiftieth, Anniversary of the Foundation of the School The Pilots of Hampton I Into what storms of sharp adversity Our untried venture first put out to sea; As new-launched ships their distant harbors seek Beyond the eddies of the Chesapeake! What ancient feuds sprang up to bar her way, Like angry seas that surge across the Bay! What perils met the course she had to shape, Like gales that lurk beyond the sheltering Cape! Yet through the tortuous channels of his time, With fearless foresight and with faith sublime, In risks rejoicing, and by truth made free, Our pilot steered us toward our destiny. II With precious lives deep-laden, hastening home, Her canvas lifting and her bow a-foam, Our vessel answers to the hand that steers Straight to the harbor of her fifty years. Serene the inward pilot is, and wise To Mark the portents of the sea and skies; As one who running for the Capes once more Sights the low land-marks of Virginia´s shore. So, through her calms and storms, of ill and good, Our ship has weathered life´s vicissitude; Her outward voyage beset by hostile seas, Her homeward passage with a following breeze. III Here, then, she waits for new adventurings And restless at her straining cable swings; While eagerly her new commander hears His summons to explore the uncharted years. Through the swift currents of the coming age Clear be his sight and sure his pilotage; Strong be his faith and loyal be his crew, And firm the hand that holds his rudder true! Blow, winds of God, like the unswerving Trades, While he fares sea-ward, and the coast-line fades; Pacing his deck to know that all is well, - Daring as Armstrong, prudent as Frissell.
